RS Dy Chairman Election: Naveen Patnaik declares support to JD(U)

We'll be supporting JD(U) candidate for Rajya Sabha Elections, says Naveen Patnaik 

The election of Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha is set to take place on Thursday with NDA nominee Harivansh contesting against UPA candidate BK Hariprasad.

Though neither Bharatiya Janta Party, nor Congress is in majority, the numbers hint at favouring NDA, after Biju Janata Dal President and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday declared support for them.
