Amid speculations of the BJP and the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) forging a formal alliance for the coming elections, both parties on Wednesday held hectic deliberations at their own levels to smoothen rough edges.
Both the parties, however, did not come out with a clear statement on the proposed alliance. After marathon three and half hours of meeting of senior BJD leaders at Naveen Niwas, residence of Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here, the regional party left enough indications about the proposed formal alliance.
