….Revenue Minister countered Debashish

Berhampur: Interview of Bari MLA Debashish Nayak to a mainstream daily English newspaper is the sign of frustration, said Revenue Minister Surya Narayana Patro to the Newsmen here.

Naveen Patnaik successfully completed 12 years in the state. Coming years also he will take the lead. The people of Odisha have faith on him. BJD has 30 lakh members and 103 MLAs working for the party. CM is a high educated and learned man. He knows how to handle the situation and how to take the decision, he said while countering the allegation made by the rebel MLAs as Naveen Patnaik is a rubberstamp to what the party's Rajya Sabha member, Pyarimohan Mohapatra, proposes in party matters, including Ministry formation and reshuffle.

And Rout, who has all along questioned the role of Mohapatra as the "second power centre" in the BJD, further sharpened his reaction after being sacked from the Cabinet in its recent reshuffle. He virtually stated that it is only Mohapatra who calls the shots in the party and that Patnaik disposes what Mohapatra proposes.

Patro said that party chief will take action against the recalcitrant partymen. He added that now some people are planning to darken the Mr clean image of Naveen Patnaik. Those are creating indiscipline within the party; CM will take action against them. The status of BJP in the state is almost zero and Congress will not come to power again.

Patro further added that Dal Scam is not a new phenomenon it had started from the time of Congress ruling. In a question by Newsmen about why the Government didn’t take an enquiry on the matter then, he answered that they don’t have trust on CBI enquiry as it is an agent of the Centre.
