“I am very fortunate that after assuming the responsibility of Chief Minister of Delhi, I came to Puri for the first time and had darshan of lord Jagannath. I have prayed to the lord Jagannath that the path of progress on which we are trying to take the entire country and Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi should always remain clear,” she told reporters.
