Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech at the meeting in Baleswar while was about his Government’s developmental schemes and pro poor measures, he mainly focused on protection and welfare for girls and women.
Soon after his departure from the district, the district Congress unit convened a Press meet, alleging that Modi’s visit was a flop show and he deceived the people of the district.
District president Satya Mohanty alleged that although it was the fourth visit of Modi to Odisha, yet not declaring any package for the State has disappointed the people.
On whatever schemes Modi spoke, they were all started during the Congress-led UPA Government regime. Modi was packaging them as of his own and trying to sell them, he said.
The AIIMS satellite centre and second KV establishment while have been delayed, yet the Prime Minister made no mention of the mater. He also neither spoke about any scam in the State, nor mentioned about the CBI inquiry into chit fund scam which is moving at a snail’s pace, Mohanty alleged.
Meanwhile, Modi’s visit not only disappointed the district’s people but left the BJP leaders and workers letdown. As Modi didn’t target the BJD Government, except stating ‘Your Government is in deep slumber,’ the party workers felt a jolt. On the other hand, the district while was expecting announcement of at least a big industry here for the socio economic upliftment, yet Modi drew a blank on that front.
Further, while rumours were doing the round that several veterans from other parties would join the BJP in presence of Modi, yet that didn’t take place.
