June 11, 2012 17:52

In more prosaic news, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today said his party would have no truck with either Congress or BJP in the next general elections and assembly polls in 2014.

"BJD will have no truck with BJP and Congress for the 2014 general elections and assembly polls," Patnaik said. "It is June 2012 and the general election and assembly polls are about one and half years to go. But let me make it quite clear that my party BJD will have no truck with BJP," he said.

Patnaik said BJD's ties with BJP were over on March 7, 2009, when the party MP Chandan Mitra had left Naveen Niwas before the last general election.
