Odisha is now witnessing a peculiar situation where the Minister, Secretary and MP are giving contradictory statements against each other, alleged Pradhan.

In a letter to CM Naveen, Pradhan urged him to continue with the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism for payment of pension to the elderly, widows and divyangs.

Pradhan, who visited the poll-bound Jharsuguda district yesterday, targeted the Naveen Patnaik-led government alleging that the party is being run by two bureaucrats who are not even from Odisha.
