BJD Lok Sabha MP Pinaki Misra has denied allegations of his involvement in the 'cash-for-query' controversy. The BJP's Odisha unit had sought a probe into Misra's alleged relationship with Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, after a leaked affidavit suggested their close connection. Misra has called the allegations false and cheap publicity gimmicks, and has threatened to take legal action against the state BJP. In response, the BJP state president said that the people of Odisha no longer trust Misra.
