Mr Modi, 73, on Wednesday claimed, without appearing to present evidence, a "conspiracy behind the sudden deterioration of Naveen Patnaik's health", and vowed to form a committee to inquire into the 77-year-old Chief Minister's medical history.

At a rally in Odisha's Baripada, the Prime Minister asked, "Is there a conspiracy behind the sudden deterioration of Naveen Patnaik's health? Is the lobby currently running the Patnaik government on his behalf responsible for sudden deterioration of his health?"

"If the BJP forms the government in Odisha... it will constitute a committee to ascertain the reason behind the deterioration of Naveen Patnaik's health," the Prime Minister thundered.
