Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister and BJD president Naveen Patnaik on Sunday cautioned the people against false propaganda of the opposition parties.
Addressing the massive public meetings in Anandpur and Keonjhar during the campaign for BJD candidates, Naveen said the opposition parties have been resorting to lies and false promises to win votes during their campaign in the simultaneous elections in the state.
“You must remain alert and not get swayed by the allurements of these parties. On the other hand, you should go by the achievements and development programmes of the BJD government for the last 24 years,” he said.
The Chief Minister said as promised by him, the people would not have to pay power bills if the BJD is elected to power again. He also sought people’s response on various schemes including BSKY, Mission Shakti, LaCCmi Bus, Mamata, 5T schools, student scholarships, KALIA, Madhubabu Pension, Ration Card and others.
Addressing the gathering, BJD leader VK Pandian said the opposition parties had gone into a shock on the announcement of free power to the people.
Pandian further said the chief minister has been focusing on development of the tribals. He has not only formed the Special Development Council for protection of tribal art, culture and places of worship, but also withdrawn 50,000 petty cases against the tribals.
