The Betrayal Of Most Confident Cost The Government?

The recent state election defeat has left the BJD supremo in a state of shock. Reports suggest that during a meeting with a BJP leader in the national capital, the BJD chief expressed his pain and insisted that any discussions about the party should be directed to him without the involvement of any third party. It is believed that his trusted confidant of 15 years, Pandian, betrayed him by secretly working for another party, causing significant turmoil within the BJD. Pandian, who was considered the political successor until the election results, has allegedly shattered the BJD supremo's trust. As a result, Naveen Patnaik may be turning to his nephew, Arun Patnaik, who resides in Delhi and has previously stayed away from politics despite continuous persuasion from Naveen Patnaik source says. However, in the current challenging circumstances, Arun Patnaik has apparently agreed to step into the political arena. Naveen Patnaik's decision to contest from two seats, including one that he intended to offer to his nephew, may have been influenced by these turbulent developments. Naveen Patnaik's unexpected loss in the Kantabanji constituency, after holding power for two decades, suggests significant upheaval within the party source says. Although Naveen Patnaik has assumed control over party affairs and marginalized other individuals, it seems that he has been unable to take decisive action against Pandian due to their close relationship and Pandian's extensive knowledge of the party's affairs over the past twenty years source says. Additionally, there are hints that Pandian could reveal damaging information if targeted, potentially implicating the BJD leadership in various ways source says.
