Bhubaneswar, June 11: After Prime Minister Shri Narendra Nodi persuaded the audience large in number at a Vikas Utsav rally in Balasore on 2nd June Thursday by screaming at the top of his voice so that the Odisha Government noticed it, Union Transport minister Nitin Gadkari ridicluled the BJD government again though in an indirect manner saying it has neither policy nor direction.
He mocked the government saying it’s blind despite having eyes and feeble despite having feet.
He addressed saying, today there are governments who has eyes but are still blind, have hands which cannot move and legs which are paralyzed, directly hinting to what he was aiming at without giving anyone a doubt about it.
He further added that neither this government has any policies nor any planned direction to go about and execute its programs and to a surprise people continue to vote for this government even though they fail to understand what the government is trying to convey.
Although he was targeting the party workers here but this proved to be a direct challenge cum powerful accusation on the now Naveen Patnaik government that too being done by a senior BJP Central leader.
He shooted the state is under such authority where neither the ministers are aware of the public’s activities and vice-versa and in this way a state progresses, thus not even sparing the ministers and the Bureaucrats and criticizing them for being unresponsive to the public on matters of state-public welfare and development.
According to him development and prosperity can’t go hand in hand in such a manner, saying this he signed off the day.
As an answer to this, BJD Spokesperson, Amar Parsad Satpathy said that such disrespectful remarks for an elected government coming from such an honorable man is not acceptable and in matters of development the public is not only aware of it but have also experienced the same. All the efforts taken towards the growth of the state and its citizens have got notice by the public and that is the reason they are electing this government for their betterment.
To conclude he added that things said by the respected minister might be said due to some political requirements but as such it bears no resemblance with the truth.
Gadkari’s devastating comments bear a strange similarity to the attack done by the Union Petroleum Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan on the BJD government during which he had termed the State Government as ‘inefficient’ and ‘bankrupt’.
