Former Minister Prafulla Chandra Ghadai on Tuesday observed his 77th birthday in a different way among the residents of Nagada village under the Sukinda Assembly constituency in Jajpur district, which is known for prevalence of malnutrition among its tribal inhabitants.
He interacted with the tribals and distributed free blankets and other winter clothes to them. Women were given sarees and household materials.
Ghadai reiterated what he has been stating since his ouster from the BJD, “I am still in the BJD and doing party work.” He highlighted various steps undertaken by the Naveen Patnaik Government for the betterment of poor tribals. “Sukinda is where my heart is. I will continue to do whatever possible on my part for the people of this area till by last breath,” he said emotionally.
Many local leaders accompanied Ghadai to Nagada.
