Naveen Patnaik led BJD government is inefficient and ineffective: Dharmendra Pradhan Rourkela: Accusing the Naveen Patnaik led BJD Government of being highly inefficient and corrupt, the BJP on Sunday alleged that the State received adequate Central funds but BJD always levelled allegation of negligence by NDA Government in order to hide its inabilities.

Addressing the State Executive Committee meeting of BJP at Sundargarh district headquarters town, senior leaders, including Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram and Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, charged the BJD Government with being a total failure and neck-deep in corruption amid chit fund and other scams. “The Government is inefficient and ineffective. It should not be allowed to continue any longer.

The BJD must be dethroned in order to safeguard the interest of people of the State,” Pradhan said. “The BJD Government is availing benefits from Centre but is unable to spend the funds and is always complaining to hide its inefficiency,” Pradhan claimed. Pradhan alleged that there were large-scale irregularities in distribution of ration cards under National Food Security Act and preparation of BPL list.

The State Government is only filling the coffers of its cadres as majority of card holders are BJD cadres which proves the ruling party is cheating the poor, Pradhan said. National Joint Secretary incharge of Odisha Soudan Singh said, “We are taking all steps to strengthen the party at the grassroots level.

There would be a State executive, district executive and block executive meeting every three months.” In his address, Jual asked the cadres to unite and work for strengthening the party. He also spoke about the development and welfare activities undertaken by his Ministry. Oram alleged that funds meant for tribals remained unspent by the BJD Government.

“The State Government is only shedding crocodile tears for tribals. In reality, it is against the tribal people,” Oram claimed. State BJP president Basant Panda said the party would further expose BJD leaders for their alleged role in chit fund scam. Among others, several State general secretaries, including Ranjan Patel and Bhrugu Baxipatra and National Secretary Suresh Pujari, were present.
