Lotus will bloom in Odisha, says PM Narendra Modi

) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday exuded confidence that the lotus will bloom in Odisha as he targeted the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Congress for "territorial discrimination".

"The discrimination on the basis of territory that the BJD government is doing in Odisha, the same discrimination the Congress and its allies have done for decades with the entire eastern India," Modi said while addressing an election rally in Sundargarh.

"Do you want development or discrimination? If you want development, let the lotus bloom in the state.

"This time lotus will bloom in Odisha. I can say with certainty that the maximum number of lotuses will bloom in the state," said Modi.
