"People's Verdict Must Be Accepted": Union Minister Pradhan Reacts To Naveen's 'Lies' Claim

Bhubaneswar, Oct 5: Senior BJP Leader and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Saturday took a jibe at Leader of Opposition in Odisha Legislative Assembly Naveen Patnaik for alleging that the BJP is spreading lies.

Pradhan said people's verdict must be accepted by all.

"Victory and defeat are part of politics. There is no need to be elated over a win and disheartened by a loss. BJP lost elections many times. Once, it had only two LS seats in the country. In Odisha, some people termed the BJP as a signboard party. But the party has got people's blessings to serve them," said Pradhan.

He also remarked that people's verdicts should always be accepted. The party that has been entrusted with the responsibility to serve should serve. The party chosen as a responsible opposition should implement the responsibility in true spirit. People would consider the rest, contended Pradhan.
