Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the previous Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal government over the malnutrition issue.
A day after the filing of complaint in the unsavory incident pertaining to the army officer’s torture and sexual assault of his fiancée in a police station in BhubaneswarP
The previous Naveen Patnaik-led BJD Government 1 April, 2023 had announced a Metro train project on the about 100 km Cuttack-Bhubaneswar-Khurda-Puri route to resolve heavy traffic-related issues.
Earlier in the day, Sujit Kumar was expelled from the BJD with immediate effect for ‘anti-party activities’, according to a letter signed by BJD President Naveen Patnaik.
The Biju Janata Dal announced on Thursday that it will oppose the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which is currently under the scrutiny of a Joint Parliamentary Committee.
Commenting on the electoral defeat, Patnaik said: “In democracy, you either win or lose, so having been defeated after a long time, we must take the verdict of the people gracefully."
Empowering the non-Odia to singlehandedly manage party affairs and electioneering is widely believed to be a factor in the electoral debacle of the regional party.
BJD, the party which he headed, lost to the BJP in both the Assembly and Lok Sabha polls. Patnaik, who never eyed on pan-India expansion of the party, failed to check the BJP’s electoral juggernaut.
A resurgent Bharatiya Janata Paty (BJP) is poised to record a landslide victory in the Lok Sabha polls in Odisha as it is all set to secure a whopping 19 seats out of 21 at over 90 per cent strike rate as per the fag-end trend of counting.
The end of the regime seems imminent as the BJP is likely to form its maiden government in the state.
