Patnaik has outsourced his govt to a person from outside Odisha: Aparajita Sarangi

Senior BJP leader Aparajita Sarangi criticizes Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik for outsourcing government, calls for change.

Senior BJP leader Aparajita Sarangi on March 28 alleged that Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has "outsourced" his government to a person hailing from outside the State.

The Bhubaneswar MP, who was a bureaucrat who had worked in various positions in the state as an IAS officer, told PTI Video in an interview, "Unfortunately, the CM has outsourced his government to a person from outside Odisha... that person is a bureaucrat."

She, however, did not take any name.

Stating that she was saying this as a "concerned resident of Odisha" and not as a member of any political party, Ms. Sarangi added, "People of the state have voted in Naveen Patnaik's name."
