"The infighting in the ruling BJD will further intensify which will lead to collapse of the government. This government cannot complete its five-year term," Leader of Opposition in Odisha Assembly and senior Congress leader Narasingha Mishra told reporters while reacting over the expulsion of BJD vice-president Prafulla Ghadai.
Stating that corruption and scams are coming to the fore on daily basis, Mishra said, "The BJD will collapse like the Yadav family in Mahabharata."
While welcoming Ghadai for his act of "exposing" Patnaik, senior BJP leader Bijay Mohapatra said, "Who ever speaks truth in the BJD will be axed by Patnaik."
Dubbing Patnaik as an "insecured" politician, Mohapatra said: "The situation in the BJD will take explosive form soon as leaders are totally disgusted over the leadership.
