Odisha Chief Minister and ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) chief Naveen Patnaik on Sunday hit out at the Opposition, many of which are national parties, saying that only his regional party can safeguard the state’s interests. Addressing party workers and supporters at the BJD’s 25th Foundation Day celebrations in Puri, Patnaik said, "The agenda of a national party will always be national politics. Catering to Odisha’s interests will never be their agenda. Only one regional party — the Biju Janata Dal — ensure Odisha’s development."
