A large number of people received former Finance Minster Prafulla Chandra Ghadai at Kaliapani in Jajpur district on Monday.
Addressing a meeting, Ghadai claimed that Sukinda had seen massive development works during his period as Finance Minister.
Ghadai said Sukinda had remained a neglected area for long, but it has now become a flourishing constituency. Industrialisation and socioeconomic empowerment of tribals have changed the scenario during the Naveen Patnaik Government.
“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,” asserted an emotional Ghadai. Among others, Naryana Chandra Dhal, Bidyadhar Patra , Pradip Kuamr Mohanty and Saswat Behura were present.
