Obviously to gain political mileage for his party, BJP State in-charge Arun Singh on Wednesday met the striking Block Grant (BG) teachers at their dharna site at PMG Square and said it is shameful for the State Government that the teachers are forced to hold an agitation on the streets braving the incessant rains on an auspicious occasion like the Teachers’ Day.
Singh alleged that the State Government is fully responsible for this situation. He further said the BJP always gives respect to the teachers. The protesting teachers’ demands are fully justified and the saffron party full supports those demands. Due to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaiks misrule the people of the State have lost faith on the State Government. Not only teachers but Government employees, doctors, nurses, Anganwadi and ASHA Workers are taking to the streets for fulfillment of their justified demands.
