In his attempt to woo voters, BJD president and Chief Minister
Naveen Patnaik on Friday played cyclone Phailin card while asking a gathering
to know where the outsider political leaders were when the State’s coastal
districts were hit by the cyclone.
“Different
political leaders visit Odisha during the elections and make tall promises but
after election they never return. Where were they when the cyclone Phailin hit
Odisha,” Patnaik wanted to know while addressing a public meeting at Patnagarh
in Balangir district, where BJP State president KV Singh Deo is contesting to
retain his Assembly seat.
“Both
the Congress and the BJP have neglected Odisha and they are two sides of a
coin,” Patnaik added.
He
said the BJD Government, however, has not sit silent over the Centre’s apathy
and has introduced the Biju KBK Yojana for the development of the KBK area. The
Government has also decided to give free land and Rs100 crore to expedite the
Khordha-Balangir railway line in this region, he added.
Stating
that the Congress would lose its position and the BJP cannot form Government at
the Centre alone, Patnaik said the regional parties would play a greater role
this time to form the Central Government.
He urged people to vote for his party candidates Prakruti Devi
Singh Deo for Patnargarh Assembly seat and Kalikesh Singh Deo for Balangir Lok
Sabha seat.Former Congress MLA from Patnagarh Bibek Meher and many members of
Odisha Jan Morcha, including Jatish Khamari, joined BJD at the meeting.
