With NCP asking its leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker P A Sangma to opt out of the Presidential race, Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC)
today said Chief minister Naveen Patnaik was now "exposed" in the process as he had proposed Sangma's name for the post.

"Naveen Patnaik's immaturity in politics is now exposed," OPCC media cell chairman Narasingha Mishra told reporters here replying a question on Patnaik's role in the Presidential polls. Raising a question on Patnaik and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jaylalithaa's silence over the Presidential polls for the last few couple of days, Mishra said, "As Sangma is not getting his own party's support, it is politically wrong on the part of Patnaik to project him as Presidential candidate," the Congress leader said.
