Attack on Odisha CM’s trusted aide and the most powerful bureaucrat in the state with PMO’s endorsement, has baffled the political pundits.
The letter from DoPT to Odisha Chief Secretary, seeking appropriate action, has made the matter worse. Is it a real battle? Is it a trap for Naveen? Will there be a hard bargain? A lot of questions, but no answers yet.
Will the DoPT letter halt the “development run” in Odisha? All eyes will be on Naveen Patnaik now. It would be interesting to see whether the Modi-Naveen equation remain the same or not after this latest development.
