According to NDTV's latest opinion poll, the Biju Janta Dal (BJD) is set to sweep Odisha, possibly winning 18 of the 21 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
 
With speculations suggesting that BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will approach BJD to become a coalition partner in the state, Patnaik said he has no personal terms with BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
 
Odisha will vote for the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in two phases on Apr 10 and on Apr 17.
