Taking a dig at Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge who earlier slammed BJP and BJD, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that Kharge is an elderly person and hence faces memory loss sometimes, however he respects him.
Mallikarjun Kharge Slammed BJP And BJD For Allegedly Destroying Odisha
Himanta Biswa Sarma was speaking to media persons in Odisha during an election campaign where he made the remarks.
“We have not had any alliance with BJD ever since PM Modi formed the government. BJP and BJD have been contesting separately since 2014. Kharge ji is an elderly person. He has a memory loss sometimes, but we respect him,” he said.
Earlier, the Congress president slammed both BJP and BJD for allegedly destroying an important state like Odisha.
He lamented the absence of substantial development initiatives in the state, particularly highlighting the prolonged tenure of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
Expressing confidence in the impending electoral outcomes, Mallikarjun Kharge projected a limited electoral mandate for BJP at the national level.
