BHAWANIPATNA: BIJU Janata Dal (BJD) has kick-started its campaign in Kalahandi district with the Chief Minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik addressing election meetings at Thuamul Rampur and Mandal in Kalampur block Thursday.
In his address, Naveen assailed both the Congress and BJP alleging that Orissa was neglected in mining royalty, railways and flood assistance among other things by the Centre, he added.
While Rs 1,500 crore was made available to Bihar to meet flood damage, Orissa could not get even Rs 100 crore, he lamented. “Orissa cannot progress under Congress rule but is on the path of progress under BJD Government wherein development works on all fronts like industrialisation, women empowerment and tribal development have been taken up.
To accelerate the present development process in the State, BJD is the only answer, he said.
Among others, BJD’s probable candidate for Lanjigarh (ST reserved) Balabhadra Majhi and BJD district vice-president Devi Mishra spoke.
