During his speeches at election rallies in Mayurbhanj and Balasore Lok Sabha seats in Odisha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised concerns about the sudden deterioration of Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's health. He hinted at a possible conspiracy and questioned if the current lobby running the Patnaik government could be responsible for it. Modi also promised to launch a special committee to investigate the matter if the BJP forms the government in the state.
Reacting to Modi's remarks, Patnaik strongly denied any health issues and assured the PM that he has been in perfect health and actively campaigning for the past month. He also expressed his disappointment over the BJP spreading false rumors about his health and urged the people of Odisha to give a befitting response through their votes on June 1st.
In his rally, just days before the last phase of the Lok Sabha election, Modi also expressed his concern over Naveen babu's deteriorating health condition, which has been worsening over the past year. He questioned if there was a conspiracy behind it and if the current lobby running the Patnaik government could be responsible for it. He promised to reveal the mystery and form a special committee to investigate the matter if the BJP forms the government in Odisha after the ongoing Assembly elections.
Modi's comments came shortly after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma alleged that bureaucrat-turned-politician Kartik Pandian was controlling even the hand movements of Naveen Patnaik. Sarma shared a video that showed Patnaik's hand shaking while delivering a speech and Pandian putting it on a table. In response, Patnaik released a video message stating that the BJP's attempts to make non-issues into issues will not work.
Modi also addressed the issue of an outsider controlling Odisha's politics, referring to Pandian who hails from Tamil Nadu and has studied in Delhi before shifting to Odisha for his career. The BJP has been using this as a point of criticism against the BJD government.
The Prime Minister also stated that the people of Odisha want an Odia chief minister and that the 25-year rule of the BJD in the state needs to come to an end. He promised that under his leadership, India's economy has risen from the 11th position to the fifth in the last 10 years. He also highlighted the success in stopping terrorism and promoting peace in Jammu and Kashmir, as well as India's achievements in the field of missile technology and space exploration.
Modi also criticized the BJD government for failing to utilize the state's natural resources and keeping the state underdeveloped despite its abundant wealth. He accused the party of looting the state for the past 25 years and stated that the people of Odisha no longer trust the BJD.
In his final appeal, Modi urged the people of Odisha to vote for the BJP and ensure the formation of a full majority government at the Centre for the third consecutive term. He assured that the BJP-led government is working for the welfare of tribals and declared the birthday of Birsa Munda as 'Janjatiya Gaurav Divas'.
