Bhubaneswar:
A day after Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik skipped the G20 dinner hosted by President Droupadi Murmu, the opposition BJP on Sunday claimed that “inferiority advanced” led him to take that call.
The state authorities didn’t present any purpose behind Mr Patnaik’s absence in Saturday’s occasion.
“The CM’s transfer has raised many questions. Patnaik appeared to have been guided by an inferiority advanced,” veteran BJP chief and Chief of Opposition in Odisha Meeting, Jaynarayan Mishra, stated.
Mr Mishra stated Mr Patnaik didn’t attend the occasion regardless of being invited by President Droupadi Murmu whom the BJD chief had known as “sister” in the course of the Presidential elections.
“The CM should know the rationale. However it seems that some type of inferiority advanced might need pulled him again. He might need considered what he would do there within the midst of nice personalities,” the BJP chief stated.
Mr Mishra, nevertheless, asserted that the chief minister’s determination to skip the dinner was good for Odisha.
He stated, “At the very least, the state’s status has been saved. He (Patnaik) has introduced Odisha to such a degree that it has now been recognized for poverty and crimes towards girls and all such issues. Had he been there and somebody had requested him concerning the per-capita earnings what he would have stated?”
Although the CMO and the ruling get together have been silent on Mr Mishra’s allegation, BJD MP Amar Patnaik posted on X: “It’s a matter of nice delight {that a} reproduction of world well-known Konark wheel was there (G20 assembly venue) and the Prime Minister acquired the visitors with the wheel forming the backdrop.”
