BJP Strategy In Odisha To challenge the Naveen Patnaik government in the state, BJP had to start from scratch. In 2014 Assembly polls, the party managed to get only 10 seats while Congress got 16.

The majority who happens to be Hindu is presented as holding the secular flag high; otherwise, India could have potentially turned into a theocracy. It serves two purposes, that the Hindus are temperamentally more tolerant and secular and that Muslims are temperamentally religious-...
