BJP-BJD alliance in Odisha… said Rahul Gandhi in Baleshwar

Addressing a public meeting in Odisha's Balasore, Congress president Rahul Gandhi slammed the BJP and the ruling BJD parties. He also targeted Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. Rahul Gandhi said that there is an alliance of sorts between the BJP and the BJD in the state. Rahul Gandhi said that 24 cases were filed against me when I fought against BJP. ED interrogated me for hours, I was sentenced to two years in jail, my house was taken away, my MP was taken away, but why no action against BJD when Naveen Patnaik is also fighting against BJP? Congress President Rahul Gandhi has said that if Naveen Babu is really fighting against BJP, then why no case has been filed against him till date. He alleged that BJD Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was working for BJP and that the two were one and the same. In Telangana, BJP has an alliance with PRS' Rahul Gandhi said that there is an alliance between BJP and PRS in Telangana. PRS chiefs worked for BJP but Congress stood against both these parties and the results were visible. He said that today there is no boss in power in Telangana. People rule there. The poor are cared for. Women are noticed. Rahul Gandhi assured that his party will work in Odisha like Telangana. Rahul Gandhi also hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi here saying 'BJP has insulted the people of Odisha'. Modi says God sent him, but his party leaders say God is also Modi's devotee. Rahul Gandhi asked if it is not ego then what is it? What if such a statement is not insulting to the people of Odisha?
