Need time to decide on joining 'mahagathbandhan': Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik
The Biju Janta Dal (BJD) will decide on joining the "mahagathbandhan" of opposition parties later as it needs time to firm up its decision, party president and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said here on Tuesday.
Participating in the BJD's sit-in seeking an increase in the minimum support price for paddy, Patnaik alleged that the BJP ignored the demand despite promising it in its manifesto for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
Asked about his party's stand on joining the "mahagathbandhan", Patnaik said, "We will take some time and think about it."
