Appeal all MPs of #Odisha, irrespective of party affiliation, to raise your voice both inside and outside the Parliament against the 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill as it could undermine Odisha’s dignity, representation, and long-term interests. Let us stand united in protecting the interests of our state while continuing to support genuine and equitable reforms.
The Bill if implemented, will reduce Odisha's share in Lok Sabha from 3.9% to 3.4%, making us amongst the top 6 states losing their share. A 0.5% share loss is a huge loss given our minuscule 3.9% representation today. A relative reduction in Odisha's voice in the Lok Sabha would weaken our ability to advocate for state-specific needs, from disaster management to tribal welfare and regional development. This is not merely a political issue—it is about preserving the federal spirit enshrined in our Constitution.
@bjd_odisha wholeheartedly supports the principle of women's empowerment and greater representation of women in Legislative bodies. The idea of reserving seats for women in Parliament and the State Assemblies is both progressive and necessary. I have been a personal champion of it, as has been my father Late Biju Patnaik. He pioneered the reservation for women in Panchayat Raj Institutions and I took it forward further with your support. The Biju Janata Dal whole-heartedly supported the 106th Constitution Amendment Bill in 2023 with regard to Women's reservation (the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam). However, the current 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill, as proposed, raises serious concerns that go beyond its stated objective.
The proposed linkage between women's reservation and the delimitation process, which is expected to follow the next Census, has far-reaching implications. States like Odisha, which have made significant strides in population control and human development are being penalised. A disproportionate increase in Lok Sabha seats in more populous states could skew the allocation of central resources and policy attention. This may adversely impact Odisha's share in national development priorities, fiscal transfers, and infrastructure investments. Odisha has been a large contributor to the revenue of the Government and yet has always received discriminatory treatment including the denial of a special status. Our development needs are unique given the composition of our population.
For the people of #Odisha, representation in Parliament is not just about numbers—it is about identity, pride, and the assurance that our unique history, language, and aspirations are heard at the highest levels. Any move that diminishes our presence in the national discourse can create a sense of degradation among our people.
The Bill steals the political representation future of people of Odisha. We cannot let it happen under our watch when people of Odisha have voted you to protect their economic and political future through the Parliament. Biju Janata Dal is prepared to take it to the people of Odisha if our legitimate concerns and demands are trampled by the majority voice of other states.
The greivance redressal system at Tata Power is worse than government institutions. Their toll free numbers dont work, their app doesn't work. @TataPower i am trying to register a complaint with @TPCODL. CA number : 80038311769. Meter has fallen off from the wall (pics attached).
@TataPower@TPCentralOdisha Dear team @TataPower@TPCentralOdisha
It's going to be a month since the incident and atleast 15 days since I have raised concern here. Is it usually this casual and laxed working at @TPCentralOdisha?
This is the exact issue I was explaining to Arvind Singh sir.
@TataPower Hi @TPCentralOdisha Can you confirm with the concerned department if rectification work was carried out or not? I have made the payment on the requested demand note as well.
Officials of @TataPower please look into the matter. It's been close to 11 days since the raised concern
@TataPower@TPCentralOdisha Dear teams,
Any update?
I wonder why you wouldn't use this opportunity to garner good PR points for the company by posting the repair work being done and executed within stipulated SOP time.
150 families in my apt & 460 families from another apt in Mailasandra are suffering due to toxic smoke from Wonder Blues garment factory. They shifted emissions to night and early morning after residents complained. I’ve lodged a complaint with the @karnatakakspcb for action.
@adi2coool@JagannathaDhaam Truly mesmerizing, adi2coool. The eternal gaze of Lord Jagannatha, embodiment of Vishnu, radiates cosmic wisdom from Puri's sacred halls. Thanks for sharing this divine glimpse—Jai Jagannath!
@JagannathaDhaam@grok witness the grandeur of lord Jagannatha (literal translation of Lord of the Universe). He resides in Puri, Odisha at @JagannathaDhaam .
