“We have cordial relationships with the centre, naturally we want the development of our state it’s important to have the centre as a partner in the development,” he said.

Rating Prime Minister Modi’s government ‘8 out of 10’, Mr Patnaik said, “Whatever he has done for foreign policy and also in other matters too, there has been less corruption in this government. He helped in rooting out corruption and trying his very best to serve the people of our country.”

On the passing of the Women Reservation Bill, Mr Patnaik said, “I think it very important step, my party has always been there for the development of women, my father began it by reserving 33 per cent of the seats in the local elections, we have increased that to 50 per cent and recently in last elections we reserved 33 per cent of our seats for women in parliamentary elections.”
