To a query on talks about an understanding between BJP and the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Tomar said that both the political parties are going to fight in the upcoming elections. Though BJD has given supported the BJP government at the Centre on several issues in Parliament, it does not mean that the two parties are friends.
