Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday ruled out any tie-up between his BJD and the BJP in the next general elections and asserted that a Third Front is a "very healthy" option.
"There is no question of any alliance with the BJP," he told reporters in New Delhi on the sidelines of the Chief Ministers' conference on the Administrative Reforms Commission's report.
Asked whether there are any chances of revival of the Third Front, Patnaik said, "I think the Third Front is a very healthy option. But it is still early days."
