The Congress on March 7 said it has always been stating that the BJD and the BJP are two sides of the same coin and whatever opposition the two show to each other in Odisha is merely "shadow boxing".
The Congress' assertion comes amid buzz over a tie-up between the BJP and the BJD for the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "We've always been saying that the BJD and the BJP are two sides of the same coin. The BJD has always supported the BJP in Parliament and whatever opposition the two show to each other in the State is merely shadow boxing."
