Elections 2024: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Slams Odisha Govt Over Drinking Water Crisis

by Hemanta Pande

Angul, Apr 27: Union Minister and BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Sambalpur, Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday slammed the 24-year-old BJD government for its failure to provide 'clean' drinking water in major parts of Odisha.

Speaking at an election rally at Athamallik in Angul district, Pradhan said that despite allocation of substantial funds by the Narendra Modi Government, villages across the State are still suffering due to lack of piped drinking water, inadequate infrastructure, and rampant unemployment.

"The Narendra Modi government has allocated more than 18 lakh crore rupees for the developmental works in Odisha. It has provided Rs 10,000 crore for the supply of drinking water projects, but people in the State are struggling to get clean drinking water," Pradhan said.

"PM Modi's schemes are not being implemented in Odisha. There is no drinking water. The health sector is in ruins. Students are not going to school. There are atrocities against women. People have to migrate to other states for jobs," he added.

The Union Minister appealed to the people to vote in favour of the BJP candidates for both the Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in the upcoming general elections for the overall development in Odisha.

Notably, Assembly and Lok Sabha elections will be held simultaneously in Odisha in four phases from May 13 to June 1.

Results for the Assembly and the Lok Sabha polls will be declared on June 4.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged the public to elect Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar from Bareilly and send him to the House. Responding to their rallying call, the voters of Bareilly resounded chants of 'Jai Shri Ram' and pledged their commitment to achieving the ambitious goal of 'Abki Baar 400 Paar'.

Notably, both majority and minority communities joined hands in welcoming Modi and Yogi during the extensive 45-minute roadshow, underscoring a collective spirit of inclusivity.

Throughout the roadshow, the public assured Modi and Yogi that, in return for the development, security, and good governance they've provided, they would ensure Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar's victory for the third time in Bareilly under PM Modi's leadership.

The air resonated with chants of 'Jai Shree Ram' and musical renditions of devotional songs, enveloping the surroundings in a reverent aura. Enthusiastic slogans like 'Modi-Yogi Zindabad' and 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' echoed through the streets.

"The leaders of the INDI alliance are seeking votes so that they can change the constitution for providing religion-based reservations, while I need 400 seats so that their (opposition's) intention of looting the reservations of ST, SC, and OBC and making it religion-based can be buried," the PM said.
