Bhubaneswar: BJD president and chief minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday urged party leaders to spread the message about state government’s achievements to counter the false propaganda of the opposition.
Addressing the MLAs, district unit presidents and observers virtually ahead, Naveen said he is aware that the party leaders are making all-out efforts to ensure victory of BJD-supported candidates in the panchayat polls.
Naveen, while speaking on some of the successful programmes of his government, said Odisha is now a leading state in terms of creating irrigation potential, education infrastructure, industrialisation and tribal welfare.
“The Mo Sarkar programme has led to the participation of people in governance. We all know people of Odisha love BJD, thereby blessing the party in every election,” Naveen said.
The chief minister also criticised the opposition parties, saying their only work seems to be indulging in false propaganda. “I have full faith that you will counter the false propaganda of the opposition parties by spreading the achievements of our government to get blessings of the people,” he added.
The chief minister, on the occasion, highlighted some of the popular schemes of his government. He said the smart card under the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana has helped to create hope and confidence among people. Besides the BJD government has provided interest-free loan worth Rs 10,000 crore to women self-help groups during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Naveen also highlighted the Kalia scheme under which financial benefits to farmers, including landless agriculture labourers, have been paid as well as schemes like house repair assistance for poor and financial assistance to food security card holders.
Stating that life of every person is precious, Naveen urged all to adhere to Covid protocols.
