On Thrusday, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik ruled out the possibility of a ‘third front’ being formed to contest the next year’s Lok Sabha elections.

The Chief Minister, who is in Delhi, was answering queries from reporters about the possibility of a third front in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections amid efforts by some leaders to bring together opposition parties. “No, as far as I am concerned. Not now,” he said.

During his visit to the national capital, Patnaik met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in connection with development works related to Odisha.

“I met the Prime Minister and we discussed issues related to Orissa’s demand. I spoke for the International Airport that we have to set up in Puri, Bhubaneswar is getting too much traffic now that’s why we want an expansion. The Prime Minister said that he will definitely help in every way possible,” he said.

Asked about his meeting with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday, Patnaik said it was a “courtesy” meeting.
