Bhubaneswar: Taking a dig at Naveen Patnaik-led Odisha government, BJP national president Amit Shah today asked the people of the Odisha to uproot the BJD from power as Naveen govt has failed to ensure fulfilment of basic needs of the subjects.
Addressing a huge gathering at ‘Jana Jagaran Maha Samabesh’ held at the Baramunda ground in the state capital, Shah stated, “Most of the States of the country have undertaken development in past few years. However, Odisha has remained the same as it was few years back. What Naveen Patnaik has done in past 17 years for the development of Odisha?”
Giving the instance of Dana Majhi who walked for 10 km carrying his wife’s body on shoulders from the Bhawanipatna hospital due to denial of a hearse van by the authorities, Shah said, “The BJD government has failed to provide minimum facilities to the people of Odisha. Drinking water facilities are yet to be ensured for all. Besides, youths of Odisha are mostly venturing out of the State to earn livelihood.”
