Pandian- Suitable Successor Or Navin Patnaik?

The rumours are in the corridors that Pandian is being trained to succeed Navin Patnaik source says. The political leaders are not versed with the move because Pandian is a Tamilian and his only connection with the state is through his wife Sujata Karthikeyan IAS source says. Sujata is the daughter of famous child specialist doctor Akshay Kumar Raut but her bringing has been totally out of state because her father practiced in Jamshedpur source says. In the past also Odisha had a Bengali CM, Beren Mitra from 1963 to 65 and the state accepted him source says. The leaders opposed to seeing Pandian as successor say that this is 2023 not 1963 source says. During his tenure, Navin Patnaik has raised the issue of Odisha Ismita which has upsurged the emotions of state people in general and will be difficult to accept any outsider source says. Navin Patnaik is a bachelor, no issue so the problem has become very alarming but only state people will have to find out solutions source says.
