Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has remained non-committal to joining non-Bharatiya Janata Party Opposition front ahead of 2024 elections.
“No discussion was held about alliance today”, said Mr. Patnaik after meeting with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has been eliciting support leaders of non-BJP leaders to come to a common platform.
“I am delighted that Nitishji is in Bhubaneswar. We are old friends and colleague ever since we both served in Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s cabinet together. We had discussion regarding land in Puri. About 1.5 acres of land will be given to the Bihar Government free of cost for many tourists and pilgrims who come to Puri to visit the temple of Lord Jagannath,” said Odisha CM.
