Bargarh, May 11:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at Bargarh Samavesh, appealed for a change of government for development in Odisha. He has guaranteed the protection of the identity of 4.5 crore Odia people and their development, said Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

In Modi's presence, the Union Minister said that the Prime Minister has come with a guarantee of the welfare of the farmers in Bargarh. "The Prime Miniser has always given priority to Odisha. I am grateful to him," Pradhan said. 

The Prime Minister said the Odisha situation can no longer be tolerated and must be changed. He has said to take the responsibility of protecting the Asmita and the development of 4.5 crore Odia people. He has urged people to give the BJP a chance to serve Odisha once. 

"Odisha will be a number-one state under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," contended Pradhan.

The Union Minister said that Modi has presented a very sensitive issue and emotional issue of Ratnabhandar of Shrimandir. BJP has always raised the issue of Ratnabhandar. Who lost the keys? Why is the treasure not being opened? Whose sin is the state government trying to cover up? Who is playing with Lord Shree Jagannath? He will have to answer.

Similarly, the entire government has been outsourced in Odisha. The Prime Minister said that a super CM has become the Chief Minister. Odisha Chief Secretary, DG, and Cabinet members don't get a chance to meet the Chief Minister. Taking advantage of the chief minister's compulsion, some anti-Odia people are ruling Odisha. He is hurting Odisha's emotions. Odia people will give fitting replies through voting.

Odisha trusts Modi; only Modi can take Odisha to a greater height.  Even after being in power for 24 years, the state does not have access to piped drinking water. There is no irrigation system in the farmland. There are no doctors in hospitals and no teachers in schools. One-third of the people of the state are going outside the State in search of work. People will respond and make changes to the disorder, corruption, tyranny and corrupt rule that has been going on in the state for 25 years. This time, an Odisha speaker will be the chief minister. Pradhan said that Odia people will go with Modi.

In response to a question from the media, the Union Minister said that it is unfortunate that the Congress wanted the Ram Temple to be christened with Ganga water as Honourable President of India visited the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Congress lacks ethics. It is a bankrupt party, said Pradhan.
