The Utkal Bharat on Tuesday alleged that the BJD Government has created multiple policy paralysis and pushed the State to disastrous conditions on many counts during the last 19 years.
Addressing party functionaries from across the State, Utkal Bharat president Kharabela Swain ascertained that the Utkal Bharat has been trying very hard to dethrone the “corrupt” BJD Government in 2019 general election. The party has conducted hundreds of meetings throughout the State despite physical assaults faced by its president on many occasions.
“The BJD Government has never visualized any long term plans to address the very important issues of employment, agriculture, irrigation, health, education and law and order. The BJD believes to win elections after elections by distributing mobile, umbrella, laptops, rice at Rs 1-a kg and rice and dalma at Rs 5. Due to such myopic policies, hard working Odia people have become lazy, lethargic, alcoholic, which are disastrous for Odisha,” alleged Swain.
He alleged that no action is being taken against BJD leaders involved in chit fund corruption case. Corruption in government offices is all time high. Primary education has collapsed and crime against women has reached new heights, he rued.
Major industrial houses have left the State as land was not provided to them as promised. Hard working Odia youths are forced to exit to other states and countries in search of employments and, at many places, they are being exploited and some of them have been killed.
The Utkal Bharat has organised “Odisha Bhagya Parivartan Yatra” at 250 places and made people aware of misrule of the State Government, he said.
Among others, party’s vice-presidents Loknath Sarangi, Rajendra Dalabehera and Sabitree Mallik, secretary Sk Kamiluddin Ahmed and Sriharsha Swain, Dalit Utkal Bharat president Dillip Mallick, Youth president Jagadish Pradhan, Mahila Utkal Bharat President Sabitree Jena and Pratyush Nayak presented their views.
