He also lauded the alliance’s workers for their hard work and said words will never do justice to their exceptional efforts.

“It’s a resounding victory for good governance and celebrating Odisha’s unique culture. BJP will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling the dreams of people and taking Odisha to new heights of progress,” he said.
In his reaction to the TDP-led NDA in Andhra Pradesh heading for a huge majority in Andhra Pradesh, he congratulated TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu and another ally Pawan Kalyan of Jana Sena.
“We will work for the all-round progress of Andhra Pradesh and ensure the state prospers in the times to come,” he said.
