Bhubaneswar: Launching a scathing attack on Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and 5T Secretary VK Pandian, Sambalpur legislator and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jayanarayan Mishra today said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in the Centre will put the two behind the bars.

The senior BJP leader said this to mediapersons after attending the party’s core committee meeting held at its State Office in Bhubaneswar. The explosive statement was given by him after breaking his silence for quite long days due to the sexagenarian’s ill health.

“After the upcoming 2024 General Elections, the Naveen Government will be ousted. It will be a tough fight between BJP and BJD in the elections. The State government now being run on lease by Pandian will be toppled. They have crossed all the limits of injustice, torture, and ill-governance, for which the duo will face a downfall and be sent to jail. The Central Govt will put them behind the bars,” Mishra said.

It is pertinent to mention here that political slugfests have become rampant as the General Elections are getting closer. Leaders from both parties are often indulging in verbal duels.
