Congress Party Was Not Sure Of Their MLA's of Odisha?
WITC
Congress party was hesitant to announce support to the conscious candidate for the highest office source says. Congress party was knowing that a tribal from Odisha is likely to be nominated by NDA and before announcing support wanted to make sure that nine MLAs of the party in the Odisha assembly voted in favour to save from embarrassment if some cross voting happens. All the legislatures confirmed their support for the candidate as directed by the party and after assurances, only the party announced support for the candidate Yashwant Sinha. Naveen Patnaik has already declared Ms Murmu, the daughter of the soil, and requested all to support her. Source says this is likely to change the mind of some legislators of the Congress party but will be known after the elections are over?
