Earlier today Himanta Biswa Sarma shared the video claiming that the the retired former bureaucrat from Tamil Nadu exerts a level of influence over the chief minister of Odisha.
“This is a deeply distressing video. Shri VK Pandian ji is even controlling the hand movements of Shri Naveen Babu. I shudder to imagine the level of control a retired ex bureaucrat from Tamil Nadu is currently exercising over the future of Odisha! BJP is determined is give back the reins of Odisha to the people of the State.” Sarma wrote in a post on X.
