Jagi Mangat Panda, MD of Odisha's No 1 TV news channel and wife of Naveen Patnaik's bete noire Jay Panda, alleges that 20 false cases have been registered against OTV channel.
In the 19 years that Naveen has been in power, no leader has won a direct election after falling out with the BJD supremo.
Panda, a four-time member of Parliament, was elected to the Lok Sabha from Kendrapara constituency of Odisha in 2014. He was suspended from the BJD for "anti-party activities" on January 24, 2018.
OTV channel is owned by the family of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s friend-turned-foe Baijayant ‘Jay’ Panda, who joined BJP.
Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik accused former BJD MP Jay Panda of spreading rumours about his ill-health.
There is little doubt that Panda is a good ‘catch’ for the saffron party in Odisha ahead of the elections.
Taking to Twitter, BJP leader Baijayant Jay Panda wrote that he was travelling on Sunday and therefore missed the "radar-Modi" controversy.
Panda met BJP chief Amit Shah and joined the party at its office in the national capital.
