Deeply saddened to know about the tragic loss of so many lives as several vehicles fell into river following the collapse of part of the #GambhiraBridge in Gujarat’s Vadodara district. My thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families in this hour of grief. Wishing speedy recovery to those who sustained injuries.
@SAHUBK@Naveen_Odisha Oh, so the bag is full of rough copies? That means 25 years of non-stop practice, yet your team still can’t manage a single clean submission. Instead of actually solving problems, all you’re doing is renaming the rough copies and changing their covers. Shame.!!
Congratulations to the BJP Government on presenting a new budget. The Double Engine BJP Government, which was supposed to take #Odisha forward seems to be now going in reverse direction. Odisha which was known for transformation earlier is now known only for changing name and colour.
During Biju Janata Dal Government, Odisha always remained a high growth state. It helped millions escape poverty - a fact noted by many central institutions. But the Double Engine Government has brought down the growth rate from 10 percent to 8 percent this year.
In real terms, the budget has shrunk compared to last year. When we take into account the inflation, the Budget increase from 2.77 lakh crores to 2.90 lakh crores represents a smaller real number compared to last Budget. This indicates that the government has no idea about how to expand the revenue base of the state.
Under the Double Engine Government, the open market loan burden of Odisha has risen beyond 46 thousand crores this year. The per-capita loan burden is growing every year. This will be a drain on the state’s finances and leave little money for development and welfare schemes.
BJP formed Government by promising people that Double Engine Government will bring in double benefit. But it turned out to be a double misery. The fund from Central Government in the form of Grant in Aid has not increased from previous years.
This BJP Government should thank Biju Janata Dal Government for the robust fiscal health it got as a legacy. It is able to at least earmark funds for the development projects without depending on handouts from Central Government which is evident from the fact that more than half of the budget is supported by Odisha’s own tax revenue that is State’s Own Tax, State’s Own Non-Tax and Shared Tax.
This year’s budget has mentioned about Comprehensive City Road Decongestion Plan and plan to decongest #Bhubaneswar traffic. But the Double Engine Government has reduced the allocation for Bhubaneswar Metro Rail Project. How does Renaming “Skilled in Odisha” to “Skilled for the World” help the youth of Odisha? Rather, it is an admission of the fact that the Government cannot create enough jobs in Odisha itself.
Our #MissionShakti mothers are sitting on protest pressing for their genuine demands. BJP Government has promised twenty-five lakh Lakhpati Didis by the year 2027. I had demanded to submit the list of Lakhpati Didis during my last speech on Budget. Instead of sharing the list in the house, the allocation for #MissionShakti has been reduced.
The budget brings dozens of slogans and catch phrases to avoid public focus on real issues confronting the people of Odisha. I would conclude with the popular saying that ‘ବସ୍ତାନି ଭାରି କିନ୍ତୁ ପାଠ ଘର ଶୂନ’.

#UttarPradesh chief minister #YogiAdityanath said that making baseless allegations or circulating “fake videos” against #SanatanDharma, “Maa Ganga, India or the Maha Kumbh” is like playing with the faith of the crores of people who have taken a holy dip at the ongoing Mela in #Prayagraj.

I may not like or agree with Ranveer or Samay’s content..
But the way the politicians, media anchors, police and the whole machinery is harassing them is unacceptable, wrong and very suspicious.
It seems like an agenda to divert attention from real issues and bring dangerous censorship. Yesterday, Manipur CM’s resignation news was totally shut out from news channels.
