The Congress on May 6 said the BJP has steadily reduced Odisha's central funding in recent years and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "neglecting" the people of the state.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh posed questions to the Prime Minister ahead of his rallies in Odisha.
"Why has Odisha's central funding steadily decreased? Will the PM commit to legal status for the SC-ST sub-plan? Will the Sitalapalli wagon factory ever be completed?" Mr. Ramesh said in a post on X.
