Bhubaneswar, Nov 20 (PTI) Leader of Opposition in the Odisha Assembly, Narasingha Mishra Tuesday came down heavily on the BJP and asked whether Amit Shah had not called up Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik seeking the BJD's support.

The senior Congress leader raised the question while speaking during the post lunch session of the Assembly after House remained adjourned over BJP members allegation that Mishra has secret pact with Naveen Patnaik, who is also the president of the ruling BJD.

The House witnessed three consecutive adjournments as the BJP members created a din in the House saying that the secret understanding between the Leader of Opposition and the chief minister has been "against interest of the state."

Rejecting the BJP's allegation, Mishra on the other hand accused the saffron party of having "political links with the BJD."

"We want to know what was BJP's demand for disrupting the proceeding. They have no demand, but the House has been stalled for politics," Mishra said adding that the opposition has every rights to raise issues and create pandemonium, but for a cause concerning the interest of people.

"Who is supporting the BJD? Is it the Congress or the BJP? Who called up the chief minister from Delhi seeking support on major issues. Prime Minister has called up seeking support of BJD," Mishra said.

The Congress leader also said that BJP president has also called up Patnaik and sought his support during the presidential elections. "And the chief minister also extended his party's support. Who are hand in gloves with BJD? BJP or Congress," Mishra asked.

Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader has also certified Odisha Chief Minister as "honest", he said.

Mishra alleged that top BJP leaders are hand in gloves with Patnaik.

Mishra said: "My party president has never called up Patnaik or sought his help on any issue."

Mishra also said that he has good relationship with all the members.
