The five-time MLA, Majhi joined the Congress camp at a function held at Bhawanipatna today. Congress’ Odisha-in-charge Ajoy Kumar, PCC President Sarat Pattanayak, and other senior leaders of the party were present on the occasion.
Senior Congress leader Bijay Patnaik said that it was the responsibility of the person for whom the vehicle was engaged to meet and provide compensation to the family of the youth who died in the accident.
At a presser in Bhubaneswar, Kumar said that Biju Babu’s poster is now missing after ex-IAS officer VK Pandian came into the picture. The Congress’ Odisha-in-charge further said that he has travelled some 1000 km within the state and he came across such a situation.
As per political analyst Akshay Sahu, it’s a political gimmick by the Congress party.
A purported video of money being paid to people has also surfaced. The programme was held at a government upper primary school at Jeypore.
Addressing a presser, the Odisha Pradesh Congress Congress (PCC) President Sarat Pattanayak said that the incident has hurt the sentiments of scores of devotees of Lord Jagannath.
While party president Mallikarjun Kharge flagged off the campaign in Delhi, Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) Chief Sarat Patnaik appealed to the people of Odisha to support the drive.
Odisha Congress on Friday started its ‘Tulasi Yatra’ demanding the opening of the four gates of Puri Srimandir.
The resignation VK Pandian is just an eyewash and a larger conspiracy has begun to grab power in Odisha, alleged Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President Sarat Pattanayak while addressing a presser in Bhubaneswar today.
The Odisha government has launched the LAccMI scheme to run buses from panchayats to blocks, blocks to district headquarters, and from the districts to the state capital.
“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.
Pattanayak said that the Odisha government imposed restrictions on media entry at Lok Seva Bhawan and the lobby of the Assembly. Such restrictions were not prevalent during the Congress regime here.
However, Manmath on Wednesday sprang a surprise by stating that he will not contest on a Congress ticket. He is believed to have taken the decision after consulting with his supporters and Jatni residents.
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 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.
