Bhubaneswar: Hitting out at Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee over their recent meeting in New Delhi, Union Minister Jual Oram today alleged that there is a secret coalition between BJD-TMC and dubbed both the leaders as 'sinners' of multi-crore  ponzi scam.

The Statement of the Tribal Affairs minister came hours before Banerjee's scheduled visit to Odisha today.

"Naveen Patnaik and Mamata Banerjee are equally sad as they both have partnered the chit fund scams. So they are meeting repeatedly to share their sorrows. Perhaps, both may enter into an alliance. Their leaders, cine-stars and party workers have duped the people. They would be punished for such sin", Jual Oram said.

"Apparently terming Narendra Modi as top fighter, the Sundergarh MP made a satirical remark against the leaders of the two prominent regional parties.”Hundred lame persons cannot take on a strong fighter", Oram said.

Reacting to Jual's apprehension, BJD supremo and chief minister Naveen Patnaik rejected the coalition remarks of the Union Minister. "His statement is false and baseless", Patnaik said adding that there is no plan to meet TMC president.
