Odisha CM attacks ‘mainstreaming’ agenda of BJP, imposition of Hindi
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday launched a sharp attack on national parties, more particularly on the BJP, saying these parties were bound to compromise on the distinctive requirements of a State for gains in the larger national context.
Mr. Patnaik’s criticism assumes significance at a time when Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress was facing relentless heat from the BJP ahead of Assembly elections in neighbouring West Bengal.
Addressing the first executive committee meeting of the Biju Yuva Janata Dal here, Mr Patnaik said, “What is the primary objective of national parties? To win elections and have power to form government at the Centre. What is the primary objective of the State leadership of a national party? They have to basically impress the national leadership so that they can get crucial posts or become ministers.”
