However, the state units of the BJP and Congress alleged that the BJD has launched this programme with a view to garner more votes. 

While the BJP alleged that the BJD is using ‘Ama Odisha, Nabin Odisha’ as its election campaign machinery, the Congress said the scheme is to woo voters. 

While addressing a press conference, senior Congress leader Narasingha Mishra said, “The government has not only repeatedly been hurting the sentiments of the Western Odisha people but also meting out step-motherly treatment."

A group of samiti members and sarpanches bandied words with the sub-collector and the BDO of Deogaon, asking the duo why the MLA and the MP were not invited to the meeting.

The grand old party termed ‘Ama Odisha Nabin Odisha’ as a plan of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to channel funds for the election.

The youth Congress activists were vituperative against the ruling BJD dispensation. 

“We are preparing a memorandum on how all starting from a peon to an IAS officer are working on the basis of the party line in Odisha. We will submit the memorandum to them," said LoP Mishra.

The programme was organised as per the direction of the Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA). 

The Opposition parties accused the Odisha government of announcing projects and approving grants to woo tribal voters.
