Bhubaneswar: BJD president Naveen Patnaik is set to campaign in Nuapada today, targeting the BJP government for alleged betrayal and corruption. Patnaik will address public meetings at Khariar Road, Nuapada NAC, and Parakoda, seeking support for party candidate Snehangini Chhuria.
Patnaik expressed gratitude to the people of Nuapada for their response to his previous meeting in Komna on November 3. He accused the BJP of forming the government with “stolen votes” and stealing a candidate, referring to Jay Dholakia, son of former BJD Minister Rajendra Dholakia, who joined the BJP and secured its nomination for the Nuapada Assembly bypoll.
“This government has betrayed the people of Nuapada, the BJD, and even me. The people are angry with this betrayal. On November 11, the people of Nuapada will give a befitting reply through their votes,” Patnaik asserted.
Patnaik also criticized the Mohan Majhi government, alleging that development activities have halted, law and order has collapsed, and crimes against women have risen sharply in the past 16 months.
