BJD vice-president and Agriculture Minister Damodar Rout reacted sarcastically to Pinaki’s statement. “He (Pinaki) had also showered praises on self-styled godman Chandraswami, Congress leader Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi. I don’t know his intention of praising someone,” Rout said.
Earlier, BJD MP from Puri Pinaki Mishra while speaking at an event Micro Unit Development and Refinance Agency (Mudra) promotion on Saturday had claimed that, “Dharmendra Babu’s worst critics will also concede one fact that he is exceptionally hard-working and very competent.”
“Despite knowing the country’s economic condition, false praise about a person is not justified. Keeping in view the spiraling price rise of petroleum products, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is certainly not a performing minister,” said Samantaray.
BJD Minister Damodar Rout too made sarcastic remark on Pinaki Mishra and stated he may be fond of Pradhan.
BJP vice-president Samir Mohanty on the other hand claimed that Pinaki had spoken the truth while speaking at the Mudra event.
