Minister bats for rail wagon unit in K’handi

Note: An excellent and appreciable steps taken by Pushpendra Babu, Balabhadra Babu and BJD. Pushpendra babu earlier had taken this issue to the CM and when we spoke to Balabhadra babu he was keen on it. Hope all parties in Kalahandi come together and makes this Wagon Factory happen.

Addressing the public meeting on the occasion of the death anniversary of Biju Patnaik held at Narla, Labour and Employment Minister Pushpendu Singh Deo, former Minister Balabhadra Majhi, former MP Subash Nayak and other party leaders said that the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has been struggling for all-round development of Kalahandi district and demanded that the proposed Rail Wagon Factory should be set up in Kalahandi district.

The occasion also coincided with the BJD’s ongoing Odisha Bachao agitation. Glowing floral tributes were offered to the statue of Biju Patnaik while the meeting was presided over by district BJD women cell president Tilottama Naik.

The BJD leaders and members took a pledge before the statue to build Kalahandi into a prosperous district with utmost efforts.

Hitting out hard at the allegedly vindictive act shown constantly by the UPA Government at the Centre towards the progress of Odisha, Pushpendu stated that they would be successful in laying the claim of the district for the construction of the proposed rail wagon industry in Kalahandi.

He also simultaneously questioned Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee’s earnestness in fulfilling the long-standing demand of Kalahandi.

“Agitations have been going on over this vital issue and we will try our level best to get the requisite land for the proposed rail project with full support from all parties as well as the public,” the Minister said.
