While releasing a party manifesto for the panchyat elections, senior BJP leaders on Thursday announced that the party would guard the funds sent by the Modi Government at the Centre.
BJP State president Samir Mohanty said the Modi Government has sent crores of rupees through the 14th and 15th Finance Commissions. Besides, the State Government is getting big chunks of money from DMF and OMBADC. The money meant for panchayts should be utilised for development of infrastructure and people’s wellbeing.
While describing the manifesto as ‘Ama Pratishruti Aam Sankalpa’ Mohanty said that in the name of ‘Mo Sarkar’ or ‘Mo Parivar’, the BJD Government has deceived the people.
The manifesto committed to strengthen Palli Sabha and Gram Sabha, stop PC Raj and empower Sarpanches and Ward members and Zilla Parishads.
It promised to upgrade and streamline the mandi system, empower SHGs, install streetlights and deploy waste disposal system. It also sai the party would stop mortgaging of MGNREGA job cards and the spread of liquor and ensure clean and green villages.
