BJP-BJD "partnership" in Odisha: Rahul Gandhi
The Hindu
Rahul Gandhi alleges BJP-BJD partnership in Odisha, claims Congress is opposing them to protect state's interests.
Rahul Gandhi on February 7 alleged that the BJP and BJD has a "partnership" in Odisha and the Congress has been opposing them to protect the interest of the people of the state.
Mr. Gandhi resumed his 'Bharat Joda Nyay Yatra' in Odisha's steel city in Rourkela.
In a brief speech, he said: "As you know Naveen Patnaik and Narendra Modi run a partnership government in Odisha. They both have joined hands and work in tandem. I find in Parliament that BJD supports the BJP. The BJD people also disturb us at the instance of BJP".
Mr. Gandhi claimed that it is the Congress party alone which has been opposing the BJD-BJP combine for the people of Odisha.
Mr. Gandhi said: "I have come to Odisha to open a shop of love in the market of hatred. ('Nafrat ki bazaar me mohabbat ki dukan khulne aaya hu')".
The Congress leader also came down heavily on Odisha's BJD government saying that as many as 30 lakh people from the State have migrated as labourers to other states for livelihood as the State government "was not working for them".
