The BJP on Sunday said the Chief Minister’s direction to the Secretaries to move to districts at least four days a month and review developmental projects is another drama of his ‘promise-loving Government’.
“The Chief Minister has asked the Secretaries to visit districts four days a month at least five times, the last being October 15, 2015, during the last 17 years. The Chief Minister should clarify problems for which the Secretaries had not implemented his direction earlier,” demanded MlA Pradeep Purohit at a Press conference here.
He alleged that the Naveen Patnaik Government only loves to make promises to increase its popularity but has no interest to implement those.
“In earlier days, Naveen had made promises only by weakening the main opposition Congress in a planned way. Now, they (BJD leaders) have been angry as the BJP is now fighting for the cause of 4.5 crore Odia people through 36,000 booths,” he said.
He said the CM’s ‘PC must stop’ was also meant to enhance his popularity, he alleged. He said the Chief Minister should make a statement in the public as to how many nights he has spent in districts during the last 17 years. He dared the Chief Minister to tell names of 30 districts and their Collectors without seeing any paper before the media.
Among others, State Secretary Kalandi Samal and State spokesperson Dilip Mohanty were present.
