India’s Left Front to Support Orissa Chief Minister  


Members of the Left parties and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) are among those who have said they will extend support to Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik when he goes to prove majority in the assembly Wednesday.

The BJD, which has 61 members, requires 13 more legislators to prove majority in the house of 147 members. The party claimed it has already got the support of more than 16 legislators.

'We are opposed to the BJP. Since the BJD no longer has ties with the BJP, we don't have any problem. We will support the government,' said Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) legislator Narayan Reddy.

The CPI-M and Communist Party of India (CPI) have one member each in the assembly and both of them have said they will support the government.

Similarly, the JMM, which has four legislators, has also said the party will support the BJD in case of a floor test.
