Naveen refutes intra-party conflict, says will look into it

Bhubaneswar: Reacting to the issue of infighting in the party, Chief Minister and BJD Supremo Naveen Patnaik, stated that he will look into it. Patnaik said this after attending a review meeting with newly elected BJD panchayat-level representatives of Cuttack district.

''I do not think there is any truth in this. But if there is any, I will look into it,'' Patnaik said.

On being asked if the BJP is likely to come to power in 2019 Odisha election, he said, ''it is the wishful thinking of the saffron party.''

During the discussion with the panchayat-level representatives, based on the review of panchayat poll results, Patnaik instructed them to reach people at grassroots and work whole-heartedly.
