Bhubaneswar: The Congress party, which had conducted a sarcastic wedding ceremony of the BJP and the BJD a few days ago, on Monday organised another sarcastic ‘Anna Prasanna’ ritual of 10 toy children born to the BJD and BJP.
The Congress party has organized the Anna Prasanna’ ritual here at Master Canteen Square to criticize its opposition parties—BJD and BJP.
Dr.Kumar said 10 children born to BJD and BJP and they have been named today. The children named after are chit fund scam, mining scam, gunda (goon), mask scam, Tamilian, land grab, unemployment, selling of government jobs, electricity bill irregularities and inflation.
More than 60 lakh families have been affected due to chit fund scam. However, due to the nexus between BJP and BJD, the victims could not get justice. Even after years of investigation, the CBI has not yet submitted the final charge sheet, he said.
Similarly, the Central Government has not ordered a CBI probe into the mining scam in Odisha even after the recommendation of Shah Commission, Dr.Kumar said.
He said the BJP had promised to provide 2 crore employment each year while the BJD had promised to give employment to 2 lakh youths every year. However, both the parties have failed to fulfil their promises.
The price of essential commodities like cooking gas, petrol, diesel, cooking oil, dal, etc has been hiked during the last 10 years, he added.
Reacting to the allegations of Congress, state BJP spokesperson Biranchi Tripathy said, “The Congress party has organized such drama to show its existence in media ahead of elections, However, the people are aware about their drama and have shown them their right place.” BJD has not yet reacted on the issue.
Similarly, senior BJD leader Prasanna Acharya said the Congress has failed to please the people of Odisha even after remaining in power for a longer period. Now, the party has died. As the Congress doesn’t have an issue, they are organizing such entertainment shows, Acharya said.
