Bhubaneswar, 21/5: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Monday appealed to the BJP to keep Lord Jagannath above the political discourse, after the saffron party’s Puri candidate Sambit Patra’s remark that the state’s most revered deity is a “devotee of PM Modi”
Patra, however, later clarified that it was a slip of tongue and he wanted to mean that the PM was an ardent ‘bhakt’ (devotee) of Lord Jagannath and not the other way round.
