Naveen Patnaik Criticizes Odisha BJP Government Over Development and Governance Issues
BJD president Naveen Patnaik criticized the Odisha BJP government for administrative failures and reversing development progress made during his party's 24-year rule. Speaking at the Jan Sampark Padayatra, Patnaik urged party workers to highlight the BJP's shortcomings, including abandoned projects like the Bhubaneswar metro rail and concerns over women's safety and pension delays. While the BJD claims Odisha was a model state under its leadership, it accuses the BJP of compromising state interests, particularly regarding mineral resource control.
