Odisha Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida expressed confidence in the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) success in the Vice-Presidential election.
“With Lord Jagannath’s blessings, the NDA candidate will win the Vice-Presidential election with a huge margin,” Parida said, speaking to reporters on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday exuded confidence in the victory of NDA’s Vice-President candidate CP Radhakrishnan in the election.
After attending a meeting with MPs from Odisha at the official residence of Balasore MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi in New Delhi, the chief minister told mediapersons, “It is quite clear that the numbers are in favour of the NDA candidate. I am confident that the NDA nominee will win handsomely,” Majhi said. The chief minister, however, refrained from commenting on the decision of the BJD to abstain from the election.
