BJP on Patnaik’s ‘penance’ attack: ‘Would’ve spoken Odia properly’

Odisha minister Krushna Chandra criticised former CM Naveen Patnaik’s claims that the BJP government’s actions led to deaths from consuming mango kernel gruel. Chandra argued that Patnaik’s party had done nothing for the state during their tenure, citing Patnaik’s inability to speak Odia fluently as evidence.
