Naveen Patnaik's close aide and senior BJD leader VK Pandian on Tuesday claimed the opposition BJP has «committed nine self goals» during the ongoing Lok Sabha and Odisha Assembly polls thus boosting the regional party's electoral prospect. Pandian claimed that the BJP's self-goals will help the BJD and none can stop the regional party from forming the government for the sixth consecutive time.
Lok Sabha and Assembly elections are being held simultaneously in Odisha.
He also claimed that the BJD has so far by the end of the third phase of Assembly polls, already secured majority to form government in the state and the next and final phase of voting will be held in BJD's stronghold areas.
