Text Font Size: S- / S+

Bhubaneswar ( Orissa) : It seems RSS proposes and BJP disposes. Unable to field any candidate in the Rajya Sabha polls because of poor figure in Orissa House, BJP is now in a quandary with RSS reportedly backing Tara Patnaik, who is a pure Congress man.

Even Patnaik, could knock the door of RSS Nagpur Headquarters. Sources said that since a very long time, Patnaik has been trying with blessings of RSS but nothing has happened.

Few years back, when Patnaik was lobbying, Rudra Pany was picked up for Rajya Sabha. However senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu will take a final call on Thursday.

Sources said that BJP national president Nitin Gadkari and few others favouring Tara Patnaik but leaders like Arun Jaitley and Murali Manohar Joshi opposing him.

K V Singh Deo, Leader of the BJP Legislature Party is in no mood to allow BJD to take away all the 3 seats.
