Naveen Patnaik Questions Odisha Government Over Andhra Poll Notification In Kotia

Former Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik questioned the state government's silence regarding Andhra Pradesh issuing a panchayat election notification for three Kotia villages.

Patnaik wrote a letter to Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday, asking if political dependence on NDA ally TDP compromised Odisha's territorial integrity.

The decades-old territorial dispute involves 21 of the 28 Kotia Gram Panchayat villages and remains pending before the Supreme Court.
