Attacking the alliance government of Orissa led by Naveen Patnaik, the UPA chairperson and congress Chief Mrs. Sonia Gandhi accused the government for spreading communal tension in the peace loving Orissa state. “The people of Orissa are mainly peace lovers but the alliance government has created severe law and order situation in entire state over the past few years in the name of religion and Kandhamal is the burning example”, Mrs. Gandhi said while addressing a large gathering in Jamurda, outskirt of the Bargarh town, 60 km from here on Thursday.
Arriving the meeting place about one hour delay to the scheduled time, Mrs. Gandhi was accompanied with senior congress leader including Gulam Navi Azad and PCC chief KP Singh Deo and during her 20 minutes address she did not leave any stone unturned to blame the alliance government. She also warned the people to be alert with these communal forces as they have broken the long tradition of the state by spreading the seeds of communal tension among the people for their self political gain.
Mrs. Gandhi accused both BJD and BJP of taking credit for the schemes initiated by the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre. “Though Congress led UPA government was the initiator for all populist schemes including the two rupees rice that have been implemented in the state during last 5 years ,these parties were trying to mislead people of Orissa by taking credit for it”, she said.
Regarding the development of western part of the orissa, congress had constituted the Western Orissa Development council in the past but the alliance government after coming to power in the state has totally ‘distorted’ the very purpose of the council., she said,
Mrs. Gandhi told that the alliance government that remained in power for 11 years in the state did not continue even for an hour when question of seat sharing arose. While they were in power both parties were enjoying every thing, but now they were accusing one with other when they became apart with out analyzing their 11 years long government. “They have not only neglected development in Orissa, but also betrayed the people by breaking up their alliance on the eve of elections” she said.
Mrs. Gandhi said the government was playing like a toy in the hands of industrialists and sold water meant for irrigation to the industrial houses neglecting the interest of farmers. “With a ‘faulty industrial policy’ the government has sold the Hirakud dam water to in the hands of few industrial houses with out looking the interest of the farmers of the areas. But congress is convinced to tackle the water problems once it comes to the power”, she said.
She appealed the people to vote for the congress in both centre and state as the congress is the only party who will give good-governance to the people and take measures for the welfare of the people.
It may be mentioned here that Sanjay Bhoi, son of former congress leader Dr. Krupasindhu Bhoi has been nominated by the congress for Bargarh parliamentary constituency. Bhoi has lost last Lok Sabha election in 2004 with a small margin to BJD’s Prasanna Acharya.
(The End).
