Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik recently addressed the remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding his health, stating that it was unfortunate that PM Modi chose to speak about this in an election meeting. Patnaik expressed disappointment in the lack of a personal phone call from someone who claims to be his good friend.
PM Modi hinted at a ‘conspiracy’ behind CM Naveen Patnaik’s health decline during a recent rally, suggesting that a probe would be conducted if the BJP formed the government in Odisha. This statement came shortly after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma alleged that a bureaucrat, VK Pandian, was controlling Patnaik’s hand movements.
Responding to these accusations, Naveen Patnaik dismissed the claims and highlighted BJP’s fixation on non-issues. He assured the public that the BJP’s attempts to sensationalize trivial matters would not affect his work.
The ongoing election period has brought increased scrutiny on politicians, with various leaders making bold statements to sway voters. As the Lok Sabha election approaches its final phase alongside state assembly polls in Odisha, the political environment remains intense.
The public anticipation is palpable as the competition for leadership positions escalates. CM Naveen Patnaik’s latest statements regarding PM Modi’s insinuations add another layer of tension to the electoral discourse, as parties strive to secure support and gain an edge in this critical time.
