Opposition Criticizes Odisha Government's Response to Ganjam Floods
Opposition leaders, including BJD president Naveen Patnaik, have accused the Odisha BJP government led by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi of mishandling the Ganjam floods. They allege delayed dam water release after heavy rains worsened flooding, inadequate warnings to residents, and slow relief efforts. The floods caused significant damage to infrastructure, crops, and livelihoods. The opposition demands immediate relief, rehabilitation, and accountability for administrative lapses, while emphasizing Odisha's vulnerability to cyclonic rains and the need for better disaster management.
