Rahul knows nothing about Odisha: BJD

February 09, 2014 18:24

Stung by Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the Odisha government, the ruling BJD today said the Congress vice president knew nothing about the state and he was only mouthing the words of his party leaders.

"He (Rahul Gandhi) does not know anything about the history, geography and economics of the state (Odisha)," BJD vice president and state Health Minister Damodar Rout said.

Gandhi was merely speaking the words of Congress leaders who were rejected by the people, he added.

"We suggest Rahul Gandhi to consult Montek Singh Ahluwalia and the (Union) finance ministry for knowledge on the economic situation of Odisha before making any remark on the state's development," he said.
