What's Wrong With Odisha CM? PM Modi Proposes Special Committee to Investigate Naveen Patnaik's Health in Case of BJP Victory

During a fiery speech at a rally in Baripada, Odisha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sparked uproar in politics by proposing the creation of a special committee to investigate Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's abrupt health deterioration, if the BJP win in the state. Raising eyebrows and igniting a flurry of conversations across political circles, PM Modi alluded to a possible plot behind Patnaik's declining health.

Questioning the Health Mystery

While addressing public meetin in Odisha, PM Modi said, Those who have been with him (Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik) for years say that now Naveen Babu can't do anything by himself. Those people also raise a concern that there might be any conspiracy behind this deterioration in Naveen Babu's health... On June 10, when BJP will form the govt, a special committee will investigate the sudden deterioration in Naveen Babu's health..."

The reference to Naveen Patnaik's reliable aide VK Pandian fueled the political blaze sparked by PM Modi's remarks. Pandian's participation in Patnaik's public appearances—most famously, a now-viral video showing him hiding Patnaik's trembling hand at a rally—became a symbol of the power struggles in Odisha politics. Seizing the opportunity, the BJP did not lose any time in denouncing Pandian as a "outsider" meddling in Odisha's affairs.

BJP's Allegations and Patnaik's Response

The BJP's prompt condemnation of VK Pandian's conduct emphasised its narrative of a secret power struggle within Odisha's political arena. With his comments, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Sarma vividly depicted the imagined power that Pandian possessed, raising questions about how Odisha might develop going forward under his sway. Naveen Patnaik responded by dismissing the claims as a ploy by the BJP to downplay his health worries and divert attention from important matters.

The Promise of a Probe

The already volatile political climate in Odisha gained intrigue with PM Modi's promise to form a committee to look into the circumstances surrounding Naveen Patnaik's health. The investigation might clear up the mystery surrounding Patnaik's health and could change the political landscape of the state if the BJP wins the current assembly elections.
