Naveen Patnaik, Jayalalithaa keep options open on supporting Modi

Odisha has 21 Lok Sabha seats and BJD is projected to do well in the polls.

Similarly, AIADMK is expected to do well in Tamil Nadu which has 39 seats.

There was also speculation that NCP was cosying up to BJP ahead of formation of the next government, after its leader Praful Patel said the country should have a “stable” government which will “decisively govern” for the next five years.

The NCP, however, dismissed it saying the party will remain with UPA.
