Bhubaneswar, Jan 29: Balasore MP Pratap Sarangi on Monday said the visit of All India Congress Committee president Malikarjun Kharge to Odisha will not at all impact the election scenario in the State. 

MP Sarangi's opinion assumes significance as he aired the view on the day Kharge visited Odisha and six days are left for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit the State. He even termed PM Modi as a Surya (Sun) and Kharge as Julijulia Poka (firefly).  

"Congress had been going down due to its double standard policy. If Kharge and Rahul keep visiting, it will have no impact on the people," he said and opined that a fused bulb will never burn and give light.   

Sarangi said Modi and Kharge are not equal at all. 

"If Modi is a Sun, then Kharge would be a firefly. Darkness vanishes with the rising of the Sun but it doesn't go away in the presence of fireflies," contended the MP.  

He said Congress has been losing votes continuously for long. While nepotism and autocracy are on one side, energetic Modi is on the other side, contended the MP.
