BJP President Amit Shah speech in Bhubaneswar, Odisha rally

BJP president Amit Shah on Tuesday began his two-day tour of Odisha to shore up party fortunes and prepare ground for a BJP government in the state.

Departing from the expectation of the party cadres to highlight the corruption issues of the Naveen Patnaik government in the state, BJP president Amit Shah directed his tirade against Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi at a massive rally organised by the state party unit in Bhubaneswar.

Odisha has all that it takes to become the No 1 state in the country, BJP President Amit Shah said. Odisha’s mineral wealth is helping the progress of the nation, but the state itself remains underdeveloped, the BJP President said.
