In a scathing attack on the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said Tuesday the saffron party reminds him of the proverb "empty vessels make the most noise".
Patnaik, who is the president of the ruling BJD in the state, said the NDA government has not been able to live up to the expectations of people.
Flagging off the BJD's month-long 'Jana Sampark Padayatra' from Jharna Basti here, the chief minister said, "In its poll manifesto, the BJP had promised to accord Special Category status to Odisha, but nothing has been done so far. As we know, empty vessels make the most noise."
