Amid BJP's push in Odisha to improve its performance in the Lok Sabha and assembly polls being held simultaneously, Home Minister Amit Shah has said that people of the state want change and think that "someone else is running the government", reported ANI.

In an interview with ANI, Shah said that the matter of Odisha's pride has become increasingly important. He said the Odisha Chief Minister should accept that Odisha has not developed as some other states like Gujarat and Maharashtra.
