BJP indulging in horse-trading to win Rajya Sabha election; former CM Naveen Patnaik

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik. File. | Photo Credit: ANI Former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday (March 14, 2026) accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its three candidates of indulging in horse-trading ahead of the ensuing Rajya Sabha elections. “There is horse-trading going on, with BJP leaders and their three Rajya Sabha candidates trying their best to secure votes through such means, which, as you know, is an offence to win a democratic election,” Mr. Patnaik alleged. Echoing the charge, senior Arun Sahoo, a BJD MLA and former minister, said a party lacking adequate numbers should not be claiming victory. “One party does not have the numbers to win the election. Yet, despite that, it has fielded candidates and is backing them while claiming they will win. This clearly points towards horse-trading, which is far removed from ideology and ethics,” Mr. Sahoo said. Another BJD legislator, Byomkesh Ray, alleged that Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi himself was involved in contacting MLAs. “He is personally calling MLAs separately and making deals at his official residence. …

I am telling that these people are into money laundering,” said the Minister, who, a couple of months back, had stoked a controversy urging Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to curtail the activities of RSS. “Where are they getting this kind of money? How is it coming? They want us to be good citizens by paying income tax, but they want to remain free,” he said here during the release of Karavaliya Raktha Kanneeru, a book recounting the …

PM `biggest dramabaaz`, indulging in hypocrisy: Congress

The Congress on Monday termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi the “biggest dramabaaz” and said his statement accusing the opposition of indulging in drama in Parliament is “nothing but hypocrisy”. Congress leaders, party president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary Jairam Ramesh, were responding to Modi saying in his comments before the start of the Winter session that Parliament is not a place for drama but delivery. Instead of addressing the real issue of people, Prime Minister Modi has once again made his `dramebazi delivery”, Kharge said in a statement on X. He said the reality is that the government has been continuously trampling on parliamentary decorum and system for the past 11 years, and the long list of such instances is well-known. “The BJP should now end this drama of distraction and engage in debate in Parliament on the real issues facing the people,” Kharge said in his post. He added that the truth is that common people are struggling with unemployment, inflation, economic inequality, and the looting of the country`s precious resources, while “those in …
