Odisha: BJP Claims To Form Next Govt in Odisha, Pledges Good Governance

Deccan Chronicle  

Bhubaneswar: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday claimed its popularity was on the rise in Odisha and it was poised to form the next government in the state, replacing the 24-year-old Biju Janata Dal regime. Addressing the media persons after releasing the Odia version of ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’ Sankalp Patra, Odisha state BJP president Manmohan Samal said the 24 years’ rule of the Naveen Patnaik government has been very “painful” of the people of Odisha as it is fraught with “corruption” and “nepotism,” besides low growth rates in agriculture and other sectors which employ rural population in a large number. Soon after the release of Sankalp Patra, former BJP state president Bimbadhar Kuanr who had joined the BJD a decade ago and was holding the post of vice president of that party, rejoined the BJP. The Sankalpa Patra, christened as ‘Modi Ki Guarantee,’ was released in the presence of the party’s in-charge for elections Vijaypal Singh Tomar, co-in-charge Lata Usendi and other state leaders. Odisha BJP in-charge Vijaypal Singh Tomar said, “When Atal Bihari Vajpayee left power, India was ranked 11 in terms of global economy and remained at the same spot for 10 years when UPA was in power.
