Kujanga / Aul (Odisha), May 25 (Reporter) Senior BJP leader and Union Women & Child Development Minister, Smriti Irani, on Saturday came down heavily on the ruling Naveen Patnaik government in Odisha, alleging that it was running on a remote control operated from Tamil Nadu.
Addressing Bijay Sanklap Samavesh at Kujanga in Jagatsinghpur district and Aul in Kendrapara district, she appealed people to oust the corrupt and remote-controlled BJD government and instead vote BJP to power to form a double engine government both at the Centre and in the state to fulfil long-standing demands of people of the area.
She claimed the Modi government was providing huge funds for undertaking development projects in Odisha but the Tamil remote control, BJD ministers, MLAs and activists were looting the money and charged that BJD mafia were looting mines and water of the state.
Irani also claimed that the Modi government had provided funds under the Jal Jeevan Bikash programme and houses under PMAY but the money never reached the targeted and needy people.
She said that if people really wanted development, they should vote for BJP and send the Tamil remote control back to Tamil Nadu.
The Union Minister alleged that the BJD government led by Naveen Patnaik has not done anything in its 25-year rule to control floods in Mahakalapada, Rajkanila and Patkura.
She assured people of Kendrapara that the long-standing demand of people to set up a medical college in Kendrapara would be fulfilled after BJP came to power in the state.
Raising issue of the missing key of the Ratna Bhandar of Sri Jaganath temple, Irani said BJP would make the probe report of missing keys of Ratna Bhandar public and expose people behind the same.
She also addressed public meetings at Remuna in Balasore during the day in support of BJP candidates...////...
