Bhubaneswar, Nov 9 (IANS) Odisha Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Manmohan Samal on Sunday said balanced and inclusive development of Nuapada is not just a promise but a firm commitment of the party.
Speaking at a press conference in Nuapada, Samal alleged that the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has resorted to low-level politics by making baseless allegations against the BJP and its Nuapada Assembly seat candidate Jai Dholakia.
The state BJP president said, “We are fighting a positive and principled battle in Nuapada. Whatever promise we have made to the people of Nuapada will definitely be fulfilled.”
He said that after the formation of double engine government in Odisha, people’s trust in BJP has increased.
Samal said, the people of Nuapada have also now decided to join the development journey brought by the BJP government.
He appealed to the people of Nuapada to elect BJP candidate Jai Dholakia by voting in favor of the party in the assembly by-election.
Hitting out at the BJD over allegations of ‘traitor’ and ‘betrayal’ leveled by opposition leader and former chief minister Naveen Patnaik, the state BJP president said: “Let everyone remember what happened on March 7, 2009. The words they are using – to whom do they actually apply?”
“In 2009, BJD had broken the alliance and betrayed BJP. Be it betrayal or ingratitude, the people of the entire state are well aware of it. Instead of doing positive politics, BJD is avoiding the real issues by using bad words like ‘betrayal’ and ‘theft’.”
Samal advised both the Congress and the BJD, which have jointly ruled for more than 75 years, to introspect on what they have done for the people of Nuapada district.
Highlighting the development work done by the BJP-led state government, the state BJP president said that the BJP government has declared Khariar Road as a municipality and Komna as a notified area council.
A sub-registrar office has also been opened in Komna, Samal said.
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has announced projects worth Rs 1,421 crore for Nuapada, focusing on tourism and irrigation development.
The state BJP president assured that Nuapada will be developed as a center of fisheries and a fisheries college will be established in the district.
Meanwhile, Nuapada railway station will be upgraded under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, he said.
Samal said, “Land acquisition for the Bargarh-Nuapara railway project is in its final stages. Agro-based industries will be given priority in the district, while cultivation of medicinal plants will be promoted in Sunabeda. A modern Atal bus stand is being constructed on Khariar Road, and a sports complex is also being built. To improve transportation facilities, a rail over bridge will soon be installed.”
