A day after opposition Congress served a no-confidence notice in the Odisha Assembly against Naveen Patnaik led government, the BJP today announced its support to the move.
"We will support the no-confidence move against the BJD government in the Assembly. We will unmask the ruling BJD headed by Patnaik," BJP Legislature Party leader Jay Narayan Mishra told reporters here.
Stating that his party had been highlighting the failure of the ruling BJD, Mishra said, "As an opposition party, we will certainly take part in the debate on the no-confidence motion and oppose the government."
State BJP President K V Singhdeo, one of the six party MLAs in the Assembly, said that they will oppose the BJD government, "but in our own way."
"We will not support the Congress move, but at the same time oppose the BJD," Singhdeo, a former minister in Patnaik's Council said.
Earlier, flaying the BJD government for failure on all fronts, the opposition Congress served a no-confidence notice.
"We have served the notice yesterday and the Speaker is likely to take up the matter tomorrow," said Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh of Congress.
