The Khordha district Congress led by its president Suresh Kumar Rautray organised a ‘Parivartan Samvesh’ in Khordha on Friday. Initially, floral tributes were paid at the statue of former Chief Minister Janaki Ballabh Patnaik.
A massive rally was held in which party Odisha in-charge Chella Kumar, PCC president Sarat Pattanayak and others went to the Haveli ground. In a public meeting there, the speakers said a lot of development was carried out in the district during the Congress regime. But during the BJD rule, the district has been neglected and there has been no development.
The PCC president said this time the BJD and the BJP would be wiped out as both the parties have failed to fulfil their promises. Farmer suicides are increasing in the State. The number of unemployed youths has reached more than nine lakhs. The numbers of vacancies in hospitals and colleges are huge. The crimes against women and girls are also surging.
Among others, former PCC presidents Niranjan Patnaik, Jayadev Jena and Prasad Harichandan and Ram Chandra Khuntia, Bijay Patnaik, Ganeshwar Behera, Tara Prasad Bahinipati spoke.
