Sambalpur: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday took broadsides at his Odisha counterpart and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president Naveen Patnaik saying, Naveen Babu is in a hostage situation!
Addressing a public rally in Sambalpur, Sarma said, “I only understand that T in 5T here means Tamil Nadu, and we have to form BJP govt in Odisha as it is a matter of Odia Asmita now… Nobody knows whether the CM here is unwell, good or what he thinks. He (CM) speaks whatever Pandian gives him in writing. I urge senior citizens to meet and interact with the CM about how he is feeling. I think Naveen Babu is in a hostage situation and if anyone meets and speaks to the CM without the presence of VK Pandian for 10 minutes, Naveen Babu will certainly cry.”
“Naveen Babu is the only CM in the country with whom no one can speak alone while Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, WB CM Mamata Banerjee are meeting and speaking to people face-to-face. But here in Odisha, the CM cannot do anything without the instructions of VK Pandian as he has been held hostage. The entire truth will come out if anyone, be it High Court Judges or senior citizens meet Naveen Babu alone,” said Sarma.
