It's good to hear the surgery was successful. Naveen Patnaik has done remarkable work for Odisha's development. But I hope the BJD has strong second-line leadership too - no party should depend so much on one individual.

While I'm not from BJD, I respect Naveen Patnaik's work ethic and integrity. Wishing him quick recovery. But I hope this health scare makes the party think about succession planning - good governance shouldn't depend on one person's health.
