The JMM leader slammed the BJD government and said he would continue his fight against Naveen Patnaik till the party is ousted from power. There is a buzz in Baripada that Marandi would join hands with Odisha Janmorcha leader Pyari Mohan Mohapatra during the upcoming ‘Kranti Samabesha’ in the town next month.
Ironically, Pyari had launched a tirade against the JMM four years ago, accusing the party and its leaders of corruption and crime. Now, in a desperate bid to oust Naveen Patnaik, both Pyari and JMM are set to join hands.
