| A K Bhattacharya: Nothing new in BJP's plight | 26-AUG-09 |
|

|
| The BJP ditched us. Their unreasonable demand for more seats in the Assembly elections resulted in the snapping of the alliance. The BJP was trying to expand its base in the state and seemed to give priority to its own interests while the BJD always gave priority to the interests of Orissa.
