Bhubaneswar, June 1 -- The remark of an MP of the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) during a programme has raised several eyebrows and triggered political buzz in Odisha. BJD Lok Sabha MP from Aska, Pramila Bisoyi, addressed 5T secretary V Karthikeyan Pandian as 'Dear Chief Minister' while speaking before a packed gathering in Ganjam district on Wednesday.

The incident occurred during the virtual flagging off of an OSRTC bus from Ganjam's Shergad to Puri.Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik virtually flagged off the OSRTC bus that would ply from Shergad to Puri in the presence of VK Pandian.

Interestingly, during her speech, BJD MP Pramila Bisoyi, instead of thanking CM Naveen Patnaik thanked VK Pandian and called him the 'Chief Minister'.
