Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has publicly condemned the central BJP government for its silence on the proposed Koita polling plan in Andhra Pradesh, calling it a double‑engine administration.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has taken to the podium to criticize the central Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for its lack of response to the proposed Koita polling plan in Andhra Pradesh.
The Koita poll plan, which aims to conduct elections in the Koita region, has drawn attention from political leaders across the country. Patnaik’s remarks highlight what he sees as a double‑engine administration that remains silent on critical electoral developments.
In a statement released earlier today, Patnaik described the silence as a sign of a government that is not fully engaged with the democratic process. He urged the BJP to address the issue promptly.
No official response from the central government has been issued as of now, leaving the matter unresolved.
