Cong ridicules Shah criticism of BJD ministry in Odisha

Opposition Congress Monday ridiculed BJP president Amit Shah's criticism of BJD government in the Odisha and said both the parties help each other on different occasions.

BJD and BJP were jointly in the government in Odisha for long nine years (from 2000 till 2009) and now they are also in good relationship and supporting each other on every occasion, OPCC president Niranjan Patnaik claimed in a statement.

"Before general election such statement of Mr Shah is just like Veda recital by Satan'," Niranjan Patnaik said adding that both BJD and BJP have tied up to grab power in the state by hook or by crook.

The OPCC president said in near future, their (BJD & BJP) game is going to be more interesting. "The people of Odisha will enjoy this, but will make suitable decision in appropriate time", Patnaik said.

The BJP president slammed Odisha government led by Naveen Patnaik on various fronts.
