Modi desires to meet Naveen at New Delhi; Cong chief Kharge also calls BJD president

- BIJAY CHAKI @ Bhubaneswar

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday spoke to former chief minister and BJD president Naveen Patnaik and enquired about the latter's health. The PM wished him a speedy recovery and suggested adequate rest. He also expressed his desire to meet Naveen at New Delhi. Naveen was hospitalised after he fell ill due to dehydration.

The PM's call to the BJD president and his desire to meet him in New Delhi has assumed significance in view of the ensuing vice-presidential election scheduled on September 9. Earlier on Monday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh too had called Naveen and sought the support of BJD for the NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan.
