Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Sunday said he would rate Prime Minister Narendra Modi eight out 10 on various parameters in leading a government at the Centre.
“I would give PM eight out of 10 marks because of what he has done for foreign policy, and in various other matters too. Also, there has been less corruption in this government. He has helped in rooting out corruption and is trying his best to serve the people of our country,” Mr. Patnaik said, when asked how many marks he would give Mr. Modi on a scale of 10 at the Odisha Literary Festival organised by an English news daily here.
“We have cordial relationship with the Centre. Naturally, we want the development for our State. It is important to have the Centre’s partnership in development,” Mr. Patnaik said. He also supported the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s vision for ‘One Nation One Election’.
