Odisha's Chief Minister refutes BJP's claims about his health, assures public of his well-being.

Bhubaneswar: In a recent statement, Odisha's beloved Chief Minister and BJD leader Naveen Patnaik assured the public that he is in excellent health despite ongoing campaigns for both the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections across the state. This comes after comments from BJP president JP Nadda and other party members suggesting that Patnaik should take a break due to his age and health.
Patnaik, who is 77 years old, dismissed these claims and stated, "There is a limit to the number of lies the BJP can spread. As you can see, I am in great health and have been tirelessly campaigning for months now." He also addressed the accusations of using artificial intelligence in his campaign videos, challenging the BJP leaders to use their own intelligence instead.
A close aide of Patnaik and former bureaucrat Kartik Pandian expressed disappointment and called the comments "unfortunate and below the belt." He also added that the people of Odisha would not appreciate any attempts to demean their popular chief minister.
During a media briefing, Pandian confidently stated that the BJD will secure a comfortable majority after the third round of polling on Saturday. He further predicted that the margin will only increase after the fourth round of polling.
Pandian also addressed the absence of state BJP leaders during the campaigning, stating that national party leaders are filling in for them. He criticized the BJP for trying to gain votes by attacking the CM and advised them to draw a line and not disrespect great leaders. He concluded by saying that the BJP's internal target is to win 30 out of the 147 Assembly seats, but the state has been experiencing a "Naveen wave" since 2014.
The people of Odisha have always admired their leader and believe in his ability to lead the state. As the campaigns continue, Patnaik remains determined and focused on his mission to serve the people of Odisha.
