The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday said "Earlier incidents of treatment under candlelight and other means used to be reported from rural pockets of the state. But now similar scenes are witnessed at the state’s major health institution.

“The Opposition parties are not happy with Odisha’s development journey. Now misleading people with false information has become their sole job. It happens whenever elections come. But people always have rejected them for this,” said Patnaik.

Intensifying their agitation, the primary teachers under the banner of the Primary School Teachers’ Association on Wednesday decided to go on leave en masse.

Leader of Opposition, Jayanarayan Mishra on Tuesday alleged that the Odisha government is functioning on lease. However, the BJP will vehemently oppose if there is a political launch of one non-Odia Secretary, he said.

The BJP alleged that local elected representatives have been ignored and sidelined, and undue importance is being given to 5T secretary. Besides, the BJD is giving false assurances to the Kendrapara residents, the saffron party leaders alleged.

Odisha Public Health Director, Niranjan Mishra said as testing has increased there has been a rise in the detection of cases but, there is absolutely nothing to panic about.

The ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) too is now keen to grab votes by highlighting its own schemes instead of raking up its regular ‘Central neglect’ cry.

While responding to media queries in Bhubaneswar, Munda categorically said that there is no possibility of any coalition with the BJD now or in the near future.

On August 5, an irate mob set the police station on fire during a protest alleging the involvement of policemen in the smuggling of ganja.

The BJP camp in the State is all charged up for Shah’s visit to the state today and Samal chose the occasion to announce his 35-member new team.

Apart from this, questions are also being asked whether the BJD is trying to play the ‘religious sentiments’-card ahead of the polls or is it a ploy to play the ‘soft Hindutva'-card to checkmate the BJP?

Addressing a presser, state BJP Spokesperson Satyabrata Panda stated that Chief Secretary’s absolute silence on the matter indicates that the entire administration has been crippled in Odisha.

5T Secretary’s visit to Malkangiri has also been vehemently opposed. Former union minister and BJP MP Jual Oram questioned how an IAS officer is involved in direct politics.

The Opposition parties including the BJP and the Congress have also trained guns on Odisha Chief Minister, Naveen Patnaik over such visits by the 5T Secretary.

Addressing a presser in Bhubaneswar, Odisha BJP General Secretary, Prithviraj Harichandan said that the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is now doing new political drama instead of implementing the PMAY, to hide its own inefficiency ahead of 2024 polls.
