It is noteworthy that PM Modi’s visit to Odisha coincides with the birth anniversary of former Chief Minister Biju Patnaik. This visit takes place amidst the growing demand from the BJD to confer the Bharat Ratna upon Biju Patnaik. Many speculate that awarding the Bharat Ratna to Biju Patnaik could potentially bring PM Modi and Naveen Patnaik closer, paving the way for a potential electoral alliance before the upcoming polls.
