BHUBANESWAR: Amid protest from Opposition BJP and Congress, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday clarified about that the woman who accompanied him to the Vatican City is a physiotherapist sent by his sister Late Gita Mehta to take care of his physical fitness.
“Shradha is a physiotherapist sent by my sister Late Gita Mehta to take care of my physical fitness. She has neither been allotted a Government quarter nor have her travel bills been paid by the Government of Odisha,” clarified CM Naveen Patnaik by issuing a statement in the Odisha Assembly. “We should use the precious time in this august house to debate on issues of public interest,” the Odisha CM added.
BJP created a ruckus in the Odisha Assembly demanding expungement of the ‘anti-people’ remarks against the Opposition by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
