Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik held a roadshow here after Bharatiya Janata Party president J. P. Nadda and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge came down heavily on the veteran politician for alleged “misgovernance” in the State.
In a specially-designed bus, Mr. Patnaik, flanked by his close aide V. K. Pandian, canvassed for the Biju Janata Dal in a roadshow in the evening as BJD supporters had congregated on both sides of the main thoroughfare of the city to greet him.
Earlier in the morning, Mr. Nadda also chose the roadshow route to intensify BJP’s mass outreach in Bhubaneswar. Later, the BJP president flew down to the western Odisha districts of Bargarh and Sundargarh to address public meetings.
