Kalahandi is now known for its development, not for poverty for the efforts of the BJD Government, claimed Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at a public meeting here on Monday.
The district has emerged as a leader in agriculture growth and has agriculture, engineering and medical colleges, he added.
Campaigning for the party candidates for upcoming election to Bhawanipatna Municipality and Kesinga and Junagarh NACs on Monday, Naveen said, “The Government is serious about establishment of a High Court bench in Western Odisha but Congress and BJP are not sincere and are playing politics over the issue.”
The BJD chief said poor sanitation and road condition speak of poor management by the Congress. “If BJD comes to power, the municipality and NACs of the district will witness holistic development and particularly Bhawanipatna Municipality can be an ideal municipality,” he said.
He addressed several public meetings across the district.
Among others, Ministers Suryanarayan Patra and Arun Sahu and BJD district president Balabhadra Majhi addressed the meetings.
Patra and Sahu have been campaigning in the district for last two days and the visit of the Chief Minister has given a fillip to BJD campaign. Odia film actor and MP Sidhant Mohapatra and comedian Papu Pum Pum are also campaigning for the party.
Even though Congress and BJP are trying hard to compete with the BJD, they have failed in their efforts as far as high profile campaigning is concerned.
No senior State-level leader of either Congress or BJP has joined the campaigning. However, both the parties are concentrating on door-to-door campaign.
