Common man feels cut off 

“This governance is bereft of Odia culture and the true aroma of Odia soil is not there. A common man feels cut off from the government. Even during the times of kings, there used to be a connection between the rulers and their subjects. There is no such connection here. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of the BJP to fulfil Odia people’s wishes," PM Modi said.
