If ruling BJD sources are to be believed chief minister, Naveen Patnaik has succeeded in patching up between the warring MPs of his party. He spent sometime with them during his recent visit to Delhi when he chaired the BJD parliamentary party meeting prioritizing for them the issues they would be raising in Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. He also underscored the need for complete unity in the party in the wake of attempts by the BJP to make inroads into BJD areas. Later he posed happily for the shutterbugs alongwith the party MPs sending out the message of unity. Party sources, however, said the real test of the chief minister would be in ensuring that leaders don’t air their views on crucial issues in public.
