Claiming that the "betrayal" by its former ally BJD had "bolstered" his party's poll prospects in Orissa, BJP stalwart Narendra Modi on Sunday said the party if voted to power would transform the poorest state into an advanced one.

"Similarly, we will overcome the difficult phase in Orissa and come out victorious in the elections on our own strength," the firebrand saffron party leader said.
