KOSAL DAL REJECTS SPECIAL CATEGORY CLAIM

Even as the Biju Janta Dal (BJD) held its Swabhiman Samabesh in New Delhi on Wednesday demanding Special Category State status to Odisha, members of the Kosal Kranti Dal (KKD) led by its president Pramod Mishra staged a dharna before the district Collectorate reiterating its demand of formation of a separate State of Kosal out of the existing jurisdiction of Odisha under Articles 2 & 3 of the Constitution of India.

The KKD rejected the demand for Special Category State status to Odisha.

Mishra said, “We reject the demand of Special Category State status to Odisha and we demand formation of a separate Kosal State. The BJD is demanding the Special Category states on the basis of poverty and underdevelopment, which is found most in ‘Kosalanchal’.”

“After formation of the Western Odisha Development Council (WODC), the Government has taken revenue of Rs 28.000 crore from our Kosalanchal region in the last 12 years but has given only around Rs 837 crore to this region.

Once Odisha gets the Special Category status and (increased Central) assistance, most of the funds will be spent in the coastal area, a fact which has been demonstrated in the developmental activities during the last 60 years,” Mishra further said.

The KKD leaders submitted a memorandum incorporating their demand to the Prime Minister through the district administration.
