The Chief Minister of Odisha, Naveen Patnaik, expressed his disapproval of the campaign speeches given by his counterparts from other states and union ministers. He described them as "derogatory and abusive" and stated that these "political tourists" have no impact on the people of his state. Recently, several BJP CMs and union ministers have been campaigning in Odisha and on Friday alone, 14 rallies were held at different locations across the state.
In an interview with PTI Videos, Patnaik highlighted the fact that these political leaders and ministers only visit the state during elections and then disappear. He also stated that their speeches have no effect on the people of Odisha. Patnaik further expressed his disappointment with the use of derogatory and abusive language by these leaders, stating that he does not believe in such tactics and the people of his state do not appreciate it either.
Over the past few days, a number of prominent leaders such as Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai, Rajasthan CM Bhajan Lal Sharma, former Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb, and eight union ministers have been campaigning in Odisha. The state is currently holding Assembly and Lok Sabha polls together. On Friday, four rallies were held by Sarma, three each by Sai and Sharma, two by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, and one each by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and his cabinet colleague Bhupender Yadav. BJP MP Hema Malini also addressed three rallies during the day.
Patnaik's strong stance against the use of derogatory language and his belief that the people of Odisha do not appreciate it, reflects his commitment to maintaining a respectful and dignified political environment in the state. He also made it clear that the speeches of these leaders and ministers have no impact on the people of Odisha and their opinions will not be swayed by such tactics.
