The Chit Fund investigation will complete 10 years by the time Odisha goes to polls and the wait for duped investors continues.

As the 2024 general elections are approaching fast, both Odisha and Andhra Pradesh governments have started flexing their muscles to conduct elections there. 

Congress’ Odisha in-charge Ajoy Kumar launching a scathing attack on the two parties said, “After the marriage of the BJP and the BJD, as many as 10 babies were born so early. The babies were named. The first baby delivered is the Chit Fund Scam and the second one is the Mining Scam.”

Each vehicle will have a Sankalp Patra box in which people can drop their opinions and suggestions in written format on the issues such as augmentation of farmers’ income, effective and practical measures to deal with labour migration and what can be the government action in the multi-crore chit fund scam. 

On Saturday, BJP's election in-charge for Odisha Vijaypal Singh Tomar categorically stated that no BJD leader met him.

Gopalpur MLA and BJP leader, Pradeep Panigrahi on Saturday countered Nrusingha Charan Sahu’s remark that the BJD will win over 110 seats, saying the BJP will fight alone and form government in Odisha. 

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Jana Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will together contest the upcoming Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh.

BJP leader Lekhashree Samantasinghar said, "There are many officers who have overstayed at their place of postings. Many of them have not been transferred for five, 10, and even 12 years since their postings. Their long service in one place is against the guidelines meant for free and fair elections.”  

With the recent posturing of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) keeping everyone guessing about a possible alliance, the Congress in the state has been in an upbeat mood.

No discussions were held on alliance, said Odisha BJP president Manmohan Samal after his arrival from New Delhi on Friday. 

Currently, Shami is on break due to surgery and hasn’t played cricket since the World Cup. 

Alliance with BJD will stall Odisha's aspiration for a BJP government

Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) chief, Sarat Pattanayak on Thursday took a jibe at the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) saying that the ruling party will make an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) not for the interest of the state but for own benefits. 

Odisha witnessed the coalition between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) from 1998 to 2009 and during that period the two-party combine fought three parliamentary elections and two Assembly elections. Both parties have enjoyed power on a 4:3 seat-sharing formula.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday dedicated to the nation and laid the foundation stones of multiple projects worth Rs 20,000 crore at Chandikhole in Odisha.
