Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has stated that his party, the Biju
Janata Dal (BJD), will not be part of any third front or front formed by
regional parties ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. He made this statement
in response to queries about the possibility of the BJD joining hands with
other regional parties to form an alliance against the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress (INC). Patnaik said that the
BJD would continue to maintain equidistance from both national parties and
focus on the development of Odisha.
