OF POLITICAL INTEGRITY?

Naveen Patnaik, CM, Orissa

For someone who was pals with Jacqueline Kennedy, David Bowe and others of the Hollywood swish set, and knew French better than Oriya when he joined state politics in 1997, Naveen Patnaik’s smooth transformation into a ruthless politician has stunned many. The icing on the cake came earlier this year when his Biju Janata Dal swept the state polls and that too after snapping ties with 11-year ally BJP. His success is easily explained by the manner in which Naveen has carefully crafted his image in the public eye. Watch him speaking easily with farmers under the scorching sun in his constituency – perhaps enumerating the benefits of his Rs.2/kg rice scheme – and you’ll forget the fact that this man has stayed away from his home state and politics for a better part of his life. A confirmed bachelor, Naveen’s mild mannerisms, battle against corruption and pro-poor agenda have made him the cynosure of all eyes. Known as the thinking politician, his clean image has wooed biggies like Arcelor-Mittal, POSCO, Tata and Vedanta into the state. No wonder, supporters hail him as India’s apostle for good governance!
