New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi one again claimed that BJP is going to form the Government in Odisha in this election.
While giving an interview to a national news agency, Shri Modi said, “The fate of Odisha is about to change, the government is changing. I have said that the expiry date of the current Odisha government is June 4 and on June 10, the BJP Chief Minister will take oath in Odisha.”
Targeting the Naveen Patnaik-led BJD government in Odisha, PM Shri Modi said that a group has taken over the entire Odisha system. Besides, there has been no progress in Odisha for the last 25 years, he said.
“The biggest concern is that there is a group that has taken over the entire system of Odisha, it seems that the entire system has been held hostage,” Shri Modi said.
“If Odisha comes out of the bondage, then Odisha will flourish. It is a question of Odisha’s asmita (pride). Odisha has so many natural resources, it is sad to see poor people in such a prosperous State,” the PM said.
Stating that Odisha is among the prosperous States of India, Shri Modi said the State has so much natural wealth and Odisha is also among the States of poor people of India. So the government is responsible for this and the people of Odisha should get their rights, he added.
On his relations with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, the Prime Minister said, “We have good relations with the leaders of all the political parties of India and in a democracy we do not have enmity. Now the question is whether I should maintain my relations or worry about the fate of Odisha. I chose to devote myself to the bright future of Odisha and if I have to sacrifice my relations for that, I will sacrifice.”
The Prime Minister also emphasized that after the elections, he will convince everyone that he harbours no enmity with anyone.
