The BJP has upped ante against the State Government for over the malnutrition death of 18 children at Nagada in the Sukinda valley of Jajpur district, and decided to stage dharnas in front of all Child Development Project Offices (CDPOs) fromAugust 1 to 5.
Saffron party women wing president Prabhati Parida on Friday said that while the Narendra Modi Government has been successfully implementing various women and children welfare schemes, including Beti Bacaho, Beti Padhao, the State Government has failed to perform in these respects.
"Not only the State Government has failed to implement its own schemes but also failed to utilise the Central funds," said Parida.
BJP women wing national general secretary Saroj Pandey who attended the State party women wing executive meeting lambasted the Naveen Patnaik Government on the Nagada issue. The executive also passed a political resolution and a special resolution on the Nagada issue.
