PM Modis reaction came after the BJP vice president Baijayant Jay Pandas post on X in which he shared that during the partys membership drive in Odishas Sundargarh district on Friday, he met the tribal woman who insisted on giving the money to Panda to convey thanks to PM for his efforts.
This Adivasi lady insisted on giving me ? 100 to convey thanks to PM Narendra Modi. She brushed aside my demurrals explanations that it wasnt necessary, simply would not take no for an answer until I finally relented, the five-time MP said in his post, sharing pictures.

This is a reflection of the transformation that Odisha Bharat is experiencing, he added.
The BJP ended the 24-year-old rule of Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in Odisha after securing 78 seats in the 147-seat assembly in the 2024 state election which was held simultaneously with Lok Sabha polls.
The BJD secured 51 seats, way behind the majority mark of 74 while the Congress secured just 14 seats.
