Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has once again trained his gun on Odisha Chief Minister over the ongoing state of affairs here. While attending the Dilip Satpathy Memorial State-level Business Quiz competition in Bhubaneswar, Pradhan said that Odisha is now in danger.

Be it Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik or the members of the cabinet or the MLAs, they are not taking decisions for the state. Those who do not understand Odia pride and glory and those need to obey orders are presently giving orders here, alleged Pradhan.

In his speech, Pradhan further said such things are undemocratic and not as per our constitution. Such things are not the values of legendary personalities of the state Biju Patnaik, Janaki Ballabh Patnaik and Harekrushna Mahtab. The Union Minister also highlighted the current scenario in the state and stated that there is a need to build Odisha once again.

“Today the decision for Odisha is being taken by those who need to take orders. Such things are intolerable and not the values of eminent personalities of the state. Nandini Devi is the one who is known for her prompt and decisive decisions. The Odisha built by such eminent personalities is now in a state of confusion,” said Pradhan.

Meanwhile, the Odisha government or BJD leaders could not be contacted for comments on the Union Minister’s statements.
