Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], Amid pressure from the BJP in Odisha to improve its performance in the simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the people of the state want change and think " Someone else is running" In an interview with ANI, Shah said that the issue of Odisha's pride has become increasingly important. He said that the Chief Minister of Odisha should accept that something like Gujarat and Maharashtra have happened. Other states have not developed. "Even Naveen Patnaik should admit that Odisha is not as developed as other states with stable governments like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh. ..The people there want change…I believe the matter of Odisha's pride has become increasingly important with Naveen Patnaik running the government,” he said."The issue of pride in Odia language, culture, literature and art has become important," he said. Shah alleged that the administration tried to stop large participation of people in the Ram Janmabhoomi Pran Pratishtha and they are upset. On BJD leaders' comment that BJP does not have any CM face in Odisha, Sha said the party has strong leadership and experienced individuals, and does not face a leadership crisis. “We have good leadership and very experienced people. There are many experienced leaders."His party has come with us. We have no leadership crisis." BJD leader VK Pandian, a close aide of CM Naveen Patnaik in the state, had last week said that the BJP leader has been daydreaming of forming the government in the state for the last 10 years. It is not the right of the people to know who is the BJP candidate. Is it not the right of the people to declare their CM candidate? Because they know that no matter who they choose among the current leaders, their party will get less than 10 percent of the votes.I challenge BJP to declare me as CM candidate.'' June 1. Counting of votes will take place on June 4.
