Odisha Channel Bureau Bhubaneswar, Dec 11: Janaki Ballabh Patnaik, who completed his tenure as Assam Governor on Wednesday, was given a rousing reception by supporters in Odisha Congress when returned to the State on Thursday.“I am in politics, and will continue in politics,” told the veteran Congress leader to journalists after he arrived at the Biju Patnaik International Airport here.Patnaik, however, said he has not decided about his future course of action.Some Congress leaders are hopeful that Patnaik’s vast experience and his advice would help strengthen their party in Odisha in the coming days.Patnaik was Chief Minister of Odisha for three times from 1980 to 1989 and again from 1995 to 1999.Patnaik’s son-in-law Soumya Ranjan Patnaik was expelled from Congress last year for alleged anti-party activities.
