Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday said that his party BJP is not only fighting for a political change in Odisha; rather it has a bigger aim of effecting rapid development in the State.
Pradhan stated this at a joining ceremony held at Khaira in Baleswar district on the day. Senior Congress leader and former Minister Padma Lochan Panda and thousands of his supporters, senior Congress leader Subhankar Mohapatra, ZP Members, Sarpanches, Samiti Members, former Panchayat Samiti Chairperson and ZP vice-president joined the BJP. “The Naveen Patnaik Government has acted against farmers, poor, tribals, women and youths during the last 20 years. Instead of providing jobs to youths, the Government is looting resources of the State,” Pradhan alleged and wanted to know why local youths are going outside in search of jobs.
