Bhubaneswar: In the run-up to the by-elections in Tirthol and Balasore, state Congress president Niranjan Patnaik today slammed Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. In a video message, Mr. Patnaik went on to reveal the undeclared relationship between the BJD and the BJP and asked some questions to the Chief Minister, hoping that the answer would be found before the by-elections. Mr. Patnaik asked, “What is the BJD’s relationship with the RSS and the BJP?” Let the Chief Minister make that clear to the public. Now we see that the BJP is backing all the bills coming from the BJP in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The BJP backed the NRC and CAA bills that came in to harm the minorities. The BJP also backed a bill against farmers to exploit the poor and help industrialists. Not only that, the law was enacted against the workers to work 4 to 12 hours a day; He is also supported by the BJP. “The people of the state have a right to know why all this is happening,” Patnaik said, referring to Naveen. Despite the promises of both the Prime Minister and you (the Chief Minister), the problem has not gone away. As a result, unemployment is at its highest level in 45 years. The country’s economy is in shambles. “Women are not safe. The BJD has also supported the GST bill, although the state of Odisha has asked the Center to take out a loan without giving it what it is supposed to get. The BJP also agreed. In this case, the chief minister has to explain to the people why the BJP has not spoken out against the Center.
