Bhubaneswar: BJD President and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday quipped that unlike the Centre, his party believes in working for the welfare of the people by fulfilling the promises.
“We believe in deeds and not in mere words. For instance, our government came up with its own food security scheme as the National Food Security Scheme (NFSA) was not at all effective for the people of this state. Our party workers will go from door to door and inform the people on how we have been neglected by the central government,” said Patnaik while launching the Biju Janata Dal’s Jan Sampark Padayatra from Jharana Sahi here.
“BJP in its election manifesto promised Special Category State status, which is not yet fulfilled. Empty vessel sounds much,” he added.
The party’s month-long campaign will see party workers reaching out to people and sensitising them about the welfare schemes of the state government including the ‘Ama Gaon, Ama Bikash’, ‘Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana’ and the state’s own food security mission.
