BJP-BJD alliance suspense: Strategy chalked out, says BJP's election in-charge for Odisha

Amid the growing uncertainty surrounding a possible alliance between the BJP and the BJD, BJP's election in-charge for Odisha Vijayapal Singh Tomar reached Bhubaneswar airport this morning to attend a crucial meeting of the party.

On being asked about a possible alliance between the BJP and the BJD, Tomar on Saturday said that the party is ready with the strategy and fight with its full might in the general elections.

"We have chalked out our strategy. We will divulge details only after the party's meeting...With our full strength, we will fight in the upcoming election," said Tomar without clearing the air on the possibility of a BJP-BJD alliance.

Meanwhile, the prospect of alliance between BJD and BJP ahead of the simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly polls has not only sent leaders of both parties into a tizzy but also pushed voters in Odisha into utter chaos and confusion.

As per reports, the dates for the upcoming election will be announced after a few hours. However, there is still suspense over the possible alliance between the ruling and opposition party. Moreover, Amit Shah’s comments that the decision is still pending with the Prime Minister and the party president, have further added to the anxiety.

On the other hand, infighting between BJD leaders is getting bitter with each passing day amid the confusion.
