Bhubaneswar: PCC president Niranjan Patnaik has targeted both the state and central governments over the Kotia issue. “This government cannot protect its homeland,” he said. What can protect us? This is the misfortune of Odisha. Even though the BJP government is at the center, nothing is helping. Neither the BJD nor the BJP is capable of protecting the soil. “Both governments are doing injustice to Odisha,” he said. Neither government has the sincerity to protect the interests of Odisha. “Odisha is currently in a state of disarray,” he said. The Chhattisgarh river was flooded. By 2011, the government had said in the Assembly that no matter how many barrages Chhattisgarh built, nothing would happen. What happened now? Now the government has not been able to save him from taking his native soil. The government has not taken any action in the last 20 years. Kotia announced the election for the first time. What was our government doing? What would he do if he had to go to the Supreme Court for 72 days? Mr. Patnaik said all the facilities that were not available in the area were not available.
