Argus News - “Jay Will Listen to You”: CM Majhi’s Promise to Nuapada Voters

Nuapada, Nov 6: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday launched a powerful campaign in support of BJP candidate Jay Dholakia for the upcoming Nuapada bypoll, pledging comprehensive development for the region.

Addressing a massive public gathering in Komna, CM Majhi emphasized that the BJP is committed to transforming Nuapada with a Rs 1,400 crore development package.

“Jay Will Listen to You, I Will Listen to Jay”

CM Majhi assured voters that Jay Dholakia, a hardworking youth leader, would serve as a direct bridge between the people and the government. “Jay will listen to your concerns, and I will listen to Jay. That is my promise to Nuapada,” he declared.

Sharp Critique of BJD and Congress

The Chief Minister criticized opposition leader Naveen Patnaik for allegedly calling Dholakia a traitor, questioning the ethics of such remarks. He accused the BJD of political manipulation and candidate poaching, citing examples from Bijepur, Kakatur, and other constituencies. “If BJD can import candidates from outside, why call a local son like Jay a traitor?” he asked.

CM Majhi also highlighted BJP’s governance achievements, including increased paddy procurement rates, implementation of the Subhadra Yojana for women, and improved grievance redressal mechanisms. He contrasted this with the previous government’s unfulfilled promises and lack of grassroots engagement.

Emotional Tribute and Roadshow

CM Majhi concluded by urging voters to elect Jay Dholakia, son of late MLA Rajendra Dholakia, to ensure Nuapada’s holistic development under BJP’s leadership.

Nuapada Bypoll on Nov 11
Notably, the November 11 Nuapada bypoll was necessitated by the demise of former BJD MLA Rajendra Dholakia. A total of 14 candidates are contesting the bypoll, including BJP’s Jay Dholakia, BJD nominee Snehangini Chhuria, and Congress candidate Ghasiram Majhi.
