As close IAS aide joins his BJD, Naveen Patnaik, Odisha CM for over 23 yrs, defying Modi waves

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s close aide and former IAS officer V.K. Pandian joined his Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Monday. In Ep 1355 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta talks about the development and why it’s significant, as he takes a look at Patnaik’s politics, and how a man often taunted by opponents for his inadequate command over his mother tongue has led the state for 23 years and counting.
