"I will be heir, successor to all values of CM Naveen Patnaik:" BJD leader VK Pandian
BJD leader VK Pandian has said that he will be the heir and successor to all his values of Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and he cherishes his identity as an aide who «works for Naveen Patnaik and delivers».
In an interview with ANI, Pandian said that Naveen Patnaik is contesting from two constituencies in the assembly polls even as people of the state want him to contest from all the assembly seats. He said the Chief Minister selects one extra constituency every time.
Asked if it is correct to assume that he will be the political heir to Naveen Patnaik, Pandian, a bureaucrat-turned-politician, said he gets love and affection from people because of his present identity.
«No, I will be the heir, the successor to all his values as I have always stood. His integrity, his commitment, his hard work, his absolute thinking about empowering the people of Odisha — that is what I would succeed him as. My identity in Odisha is 'he works for Naveen Patnaik and he delivers.' That is the identity which I cherish. The love and affection that I get from people is because of that identity,» he said.
