The Narendra Modi Government had put Bhubaneswar in the Smart City list and also provided adequate funds. The Odisha Government had announced to make the city number one Smart City. But in reality, the picture is quite different, the BJP said in a Press meet here on Monday.
The State Government and the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) have failed to improve the infrastructure and provide the basic facilities to the citizens, This is really very sad and disappointing, said BJP State president, Samir Mohanty releasing a book ‘Ame Kahuni, Kahuchi Ganamadhyama’, a compilation of media reports on the issues and problems affecting the city denizens.“Be it the pothole riddled roads, dengue menace, non-lifting of garbage or the Mo Cycle corruption, the State Government and BMC have failed to address any of the issues which are creating numerous problems for the people,” alleged party leader Babu Singh.
“The BJD is in power for the last 21 years. Tomorrow is the Local Self-Governance Day. They should tell people what they have done for them,” he added.
