Nadda accuses BJD of importing outsider for Odisha’s leadership
People have to remain cautious as BJD thinks there are no leaders in Odisha. The manner in which outsiders are being patronized by Naveen Patnaik, is a matter of grave concern, he said.
In the wake of the Kottayam District Police chief’s report mentioning Erattupetta a place with terrorist presence, the BJP has urged Home Minister Amit Shah to immediately intervene to address the escalating presence of anti-national forces in Kottayam and Idukki districts.
BJP Central Zone President N Hari has written a letter to the Home Minister requesting him to take proactive measures to counter the growing strength of the ant-national forces in Kottayam and Idukki districts.
N Hari, in his letter, said the activists of the Popular Front of India, after the ban of the outfit, have aligned themselves with other parties and are engaged in terrorist activities.
