Bhubaneshwar, May 28: Madhya Pradesh Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vishwas Sarang launched a scathing attack on Odisha's Chief Minister and BJD leader Naveen Patnaik. Sarang referred to Patnaik as the "shadow" Chief Minister, while describing VK Pandian as the "real" Chief Minister of the state.
Meanwhile, Sarang also expressed his confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party's chances of winning both the Assembly elections and Lok Sabha in Odisha.
Taking a jibe at the CM of the state, Sarang remarked, "Naveen Patnaik is working as the shadow CM of the state, with VK Pandian being the actual leader. He didn't even think about Odisha, its people and the Odia language. The people of Odisha will not accept someone from Tamil Nadu as their Chief Minister."
He further stated that the BJP aims to establish a "double-engine" government in Odisha, quoting, "Ab Kamal Khilega Aur Double Engine Ki Sarkar Odisha Mein Aayegi" (now the lotus will bloom and a double-engine government will come to Odisha).
