No alliance, BJP to fight alone in Odisha: Manmohan Samal
Bhubaneswar, (Odishabarta): After month long speculations, BJP state president Manmohan Samal today cleared the air that there will be no alliance with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and the saffron party will fight 21 Lok Sabha seats and 147 Assembly seats alone.
The BJP will fight alone in all 21 Lok Sabha and 147 assembly seats to create a developed India and a developed Odisha under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fulfill the hopes, and aspirations of four and a half crore Odias, Samal said.
Taking to his official ‘X’ handle, Samal said that the BJD under the leadership of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has been supporting the Narendra Modi led Central Government on many issues of national importance and we thank him for that.
“We feel that in all the states which have BJP’s double-engine governments, development and welfare work has been accelerated and the respective states are also making progress in all areas, said Samal.
“But today in Odisha various welfare schemes of the Modi government are not reaching the grass root level, due to which the poor people of the state are deprived of the benefits. We are unable to agree with the state government on many issues related to pride interests of the people of Odisha,” the BJP president said.
