AMID speculations of more BJD MPs in Rajya Sabha switching over to the BJP, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday claimed the regional outfit was on its last legs.

On a two-day visit to the state, Sarma said the BJD is finished in the state. "The BJD has already become history in Odisha. Today the BJP government completed six months in the state and is doing very well. The BJP will be in power in Odisha for the next 50 years," he asserted.

Sarma's statement assumes significance as he was one of the key BJP functionaries to have camped in the state during the 2024 elections and played a key role in the stunning victory of the saffron party both in Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
