Their accountability, and commitment will be for the Delhi high command and not for the people of Odisha. They will be controlled by Delhi like the Congress government. If they are really serious about doing something for Odisha, they should get out of this Congress mentality of selecting CM candidate by the high command..." said 5T Chairman and BJD leader VK Pandian.
