Sambit Patra, BJP's Lok Sabha candidate in Odisha's Puri seat, sparked controversy by proclaiming "Lord Jagannath is Modi's devotee" after a rally with PM Modi.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik condemned the statement, calling it an insult to Lord Jagannath and Odia pride.
Patra apologized, citing a "slip of the tongue" due to heat.

In a fiery exchange, the BJP has rebuked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his comments on the funeral arrangements of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, labeling his remarks as "political opportunism." Sambit Patra, the BJP spokesperson, defends the funeral arrangements and promises a memorial for Singh, while accusing the Congress of hypocrisy.
