Bhubaneswar: Odisha Government must wake up and take immediate and harshest possible action against culprits, said BJD president and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Naveen Patnaik while reacting over the rising number of crimes against women in the state.

Taking to his X handle, the former Chief Minister of Odisha said, “The abduction and gang rape of minor girls in Baghamari area of Khurda district is extremely sensitive and heart-wrenching.”

Similarly, some members of a local Women Self-Help Group (SHG) in Aranji village under Bhadrak Rural Police Station mercilessly beat a young woman as she could not pay the loan installments following her mother’s death, Naveen wrote adding that during the BJD government, through the Mission Shakti initiative, women were successfully climbing the ladder of success and creating their own identity.

However, under the BJP government, women in Odisha have become completely insecure, and development has come to a standstill, he alleged.
