ONI Bureau: Don’t remember how many times in the past we saw LIVE telecast of a Lok Sabha MP inaugurating a Water Tank project in his constituency! But, Kendrapara MP Baijayant ‘Jay’ Panda made it possible. And, he wanted to target both BJD and BJP leadership with a strong message.
Although it’s 12th Water Tank from Jay Panda’s MPLAD funds in his constituency, but Buhalo (Cuttack) got more prominence, as the MP wanted to show is strength to supremo Naveen Patnaik as well to BJP leadership, which keeps ignoring his “claims” to join the saffron outfit.
As expected, nothing happened. There was no opposition, no dispute. But, Jay Panda, came, saw, inaugurated the project and left with a victory sign. And, not to forget, he addressed the media (including ANI) in Odia, Hindi and English. Message is loud and clear – for both Naveen and Modi.
