BJD, Congress leaders’ loot to be blamed for Odisha’s ‘rich State poor people’ syndrome: PM Modi

Blaming the Biju Janata Dal government headed by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for prevailing poverty despite abundant mineral resources in Odisha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said Bharatiya Janata Party will surely come to power in the State by next month as people would not spare the current regime for its ‘sin’.

Launching a no-hold-barred attack on the State government at a public meeting held in Berhampur, Mr. Modi asserted, “for the first time, double engine government is going to be in Odisha– one at Centre and another in the State. Mark my words, the coming June 4 will be expiry date for BJD government. On June 6, BJP will decide its new chief minister. Oath-taking ceremony of the new BJP government will take place on June 10.”
