Bhubaneswar (Odisha) Apr 21 (ANI): In an exclusive interview with ANI, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik talked about former BJD leader Baijayant Panda and said, “He (Baijayant Panda) wanted to be chairman of Parliamentary Finance Committee. Our party didn't have sufficient numbers so he thought he would get support of BJP.
