BJP CM will take oath in Odisha on June 10: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday predicted Naveen Patnaik's uninterrupted run since 2000 will end on June 10, when a BJP CM will take oath, evoking sharp reactions from the ruling BJD leaders. Amid the raging debate over whether Tamil Nadu-born bureaucrat-turned-politician and Naveen's aide V K Pandian will succeed the CM, who is seeking votes for a record sixth term, Modi said, "BJP's CM will be someone who deeply understands and takes pride in Odia culture, someone who lives and breathes it."
