“We don’t need an alliance in Odisha. We are self-sufficient and confident of winning more than 117 seats. We may go up, but won’t go down below 117. We will stop BJP in the state,” Dama added.
Earlier, BJD supremo and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik has completely rejected the idea of any direct or indirect alliance with either Congress or BJP, saying his party would go alone and win another term on the basis of good work done for the people.
