Bhubaneswar: Former minister Dibyashankar Mishra on Thursday clarified his stance amid speculation about the BJD’s future leadership sparked by his earlier remarks. The former minister said that he was speaking broadly about youth leadership and had cited Kalikesh purely as an example. At the Balangir tournament, I praised Kalikesh Singh Deo on stage and in media bytes solely as an example of youth leadership. He has the capability to inspire the next generation at the state level, but my comments were not linked to any party leadership change,” he asserted. Reaffirming his commitment to the BJD, Mishra said: “We all know our leader is only one — the honourable Naveen Patnaik.
