Patnaik said, “The real strength of BJD is the love of the people of Odisha, and because of that it emerged as the strongest regional party in Odisha.”

“BJD is taking its decision in the state for the development and welfare of the people of Odisha; we are no longer waiting to ask for fund from anyone for state’s welfare,” he added in the letter.
