Dubbing the government at Centre and Odisha as billionaire-friendly, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik alleging that both have entered into partnership to run the State.
Patnaik, who addressed poll rallies in Hinjili assembly constituency in his home district of Ganjam, dwelt upon a 10-year development plan with a strong emphasis on empowering the youth.
Evidently, the CM’s electoral game plan is to enhance the prospects of BJD candidates in the western parts of the state where the saffron party has considerable strength as far as organizational network and vote base is concerned.
Five-time Chief Minister Patnaik had also fought from two seats in 2019 Assembly polls.
Naveen Patnaik would be sworn-in as the state’s Chief Minister for a fifth consecutive term on May 29 in a simple ceremony at the Raj Bhavan, the BJD said on Saturday, adding that it would be an austere occasion in view of the Cyclone Fani that caused much death and destruction in the state.
Results proved all intellectuals wrong as the voter turned out to be smarter. Such a phenomenon in the predominantly rural, backward state was unexpected.
Mr Patnaik was riveted to social security and the indices of welfare. Bereft of personal attacks, his campaign style has paid off and famously so. More power to his elbow.
The “political novice” of 1998 had outgrown seasoned political stalwarts and in terms of electoral success, even his illustrious father Biju Patnaik.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated YSR Congress Party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on victories of their respective parties in the assembly elections of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.
