“This time, it is clearly visible that the people of Odisha have decided to give 21 out of 21 Lok Sabha seats to BJP. The people of Odisha have also decided to give Naveen babu rest and the BJP work to form the government here,” said BJP National President JP Nadda on Thursday while addressing a public meeting at Karanjia in Keonjhar.
According to Nadda, Prime Minister 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 Vikash’and made development a top priority, he said.
BJD Neglected Tribals And Poor
“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 Nadda.
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 Kalahandi and other parts of Odisha 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 next 5 years,” said Nadda.

The BJP National President JP Nadda further said that massive works for highways and railways are going on at a faster pace in Odisha and other parts of the country under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Who is Running Governance in Odisha?
BJP National President JP Nadda said that it is unfortunate that an outsider is running the governance in Odisha.
“Vote BJP to power, and a son or daughter of Odisha will run the state. Why has the administration been outsourced? Is there any leader left here? No MLA or MP is able to raise voice, and who is the person who is not allowing them to meet the CM? Outside contractors are being hired and Odisha contractors are not getting work in the state. It is unfortunate the new bus service of the state government is also being run by outsiders. Most of the sugar mills and other industries have been closed in the state. Who has done it and who has looted the Ratna Bhandar? Does such governance should be allowed to run?" Nadda questioned.
