BJP MP Claims Biju Patnaik Linked To Nehru And CIA, BJD Criticises

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey claimed former Odisha CM Biju Patnaik acted as a “link” between Jawaharlal Nehru, the US government and CIA agents, citing historical correspondence. The remark drew sharp criticism from BJD Rajya Sabha MP Sasmit Patra, who called it distortion of history and offensive to a respected leader, even resigning from a committee chaired by Dubey.
