A BJP team on Monday met Governor Prof Ganeshi Lal and sought his intervention against implementation of the KALIA Yojana by the State Government “for political interest”.
“The State Government should have made a Budgetary provision and announced the KALIA scheme, if it had any concern for farmers’ interest. Instead of doing that, it is trying to use contingency fund in a hurry only to meet political interest. The KALIA Yojana is meant to betray farmers only,” alleged party vice-president Sameer Mohanty.
The representative team comprised party State secretary Dr Lekhashree Samantsinghar, spokesperson Golak Mohapatra, BJP Mahila Morcha president Pravati Parida, Krushak Morcha general secretary Surath Biswal and Bhubaneswar district president Harekrushna Khuntia.
