The Bharatiya Janata Party called off its alliance with Biju Janta Dal (BJD) in Odisha ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, the Hindu nationalist party’s state president Manmohan Samal said on Friday.
BJP will fight all 21 Lok Sabha and 147 Assembly seats in Odisha alone, he said.
“To fulfill the hopes, wishes and aspirations of 4.5 crore people of Odisha, under the visionary leadership of PM Modi, BJP will fight the polls alone,” Samal said in his post on X.
The BJP and the BJD parted ways in 2009 after being in an alliance for over 10 years from 1998 to 2009.
