“We erroneously reported that it was the PMO who cancelled the programme after accepting the invite. We deeply regret such a lapse that led to confusion that the PM did not have time for Hockey”.

On Wednesday, BJD lashed out at Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan for allegedly telling lies that the BJD had blamed the PM for not releasing the promo song of the Hockey World Cup with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

Speaking at a press meet, BJD spokesperson Pratap Keshari Deb said that the party has never stated anything on this and it is unfortunate that the union minister has dragged BJD in this.

“Let’s rise above party lines and make Odisha shine in the global stage by successfully hosting the World Cup,” he said.
