UPA Government for its continued apathy towards the State.
Addressing the opening session of the two-day State executive
committee meeting of the BJP here on Thursday, party president Suresh
Pujari lambasted the Centre for its preferential treatment to the
State so far as sanction of Central projects or Central assistance is
concerned.
"The only solution to the Centre's apathy is to build a movement
against the UPA Government in the State," Pujari said.
The BJD-BJP combination has completed 10 years and the alliance will
continue to rule the State, Pujari asserted and exhorted party leaders
and workers to defeat the evil design of the Congress. All the
projects sanctioned by the NDA Government for the State are either
shelved or relocated to other states.
The Netaji Subash Bose All India Institute of Medical Science is
languishing for lack of financial support. While Orissa's demand for
an Indian Institute of Technology has been ignored, states having
several national institutes are being given special treatment, he
rued.
Even as the State is facing recurring floods and Central team visiting
the State to assess the flood damage realised the gravity of the
situation and financial requirement to meet the calamities, the UPA
Government has not given any special assistance to tide over the
situation.
"After promising Rs 200 crore special flood assistance to the State,
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh did not keep his word," he said.
After reducing the kerosene quota of the State, the latest in the
series is that the Centre is hell bent on deleting over 10.30 lakh BPL
families from the existing list while the number of BPL families in
progressive states are increased, he rued.
The meeting will pass its political resolution on Friday.
