Hours after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) denied any possible alliance with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), the regional party on Saturday termed the talk on tie-up a rumour.
“The possible alliance is a rumour being spread by a section of BJP leaders through media. We don’t know why BJP leaders are spreading the rumour,” said BJD spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member Sasmit Patra addressing a press conference here.
“The BJD is in a comfortable position due to various welfare programmes and transformation being carried out under 5T (teamwork, transparency, technology, time, and transformation) initiatives,” said Mr. Patra.
