People of Odisha have decided to give Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik: Nadda
Bhubaneswar: BJP national president JP Nadda on Thursday said people of Odisha have decided to give 21 out of 21 Lok Sabha seats to BJP this time. Besides, they have resolved to give chief minister Naveen Patnaik rest and the BJP work to form the government here in the state.
Addressing a public meeting at Karanjia in Mayurbhanj district, Nadda said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has changed the definition and culture of development and politics in the last 10 years.
“People used to say that politics would continue like this and there would be no change. Now every person in the country is walking with PM Modi towards the vision of Viksit Bharat. Earlier, politics was done based on religion, caste and area and even divide & rule policy. PM Modi gave one mantra, ‘Saab Ka Saath, Sab Ka Vikas made development a top priority,” he said.
“The tribals, who were earlier seen as vote bank politics, are now dreaming of a better life and it has happened only due to PM Narendra Modi ji. The daughter of Odisha Droupadi Murmu is the President of India and it shows the vision of the Prime Minister for tribal welfare,” said JP Nadd
The BJD government in Odisha has given only pain to the poor and tribals. Hence, the tribals and those staying near mining areas are forced to migrate outside the state in search of livelihood, alleged JP Nadda.
According to Nadda, everybody is aware of the stories in Odisha’s Kalahandi and other parts of the state where people were facing problems in getting food and poverty.
“But PM Modi started the Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana and provided free ration to 3.2 crore people in Odisha and 18.5 lakh people in Keonjhar. Under PM Awas Yojana, 4 crore houses were constructed in the last 10 years. Now it has been decided that nobody will live in kutcha houses and hence 3 crore more houses will be constructed in the next five years,” said Nadda.
He further said that massive works for highways and railways were going on at a faster pace in Odisha and other parts of the country under PM Modi’s leadership.
