More than two hundred men and women led by former Deputy Speaker of Assembly and National vice-president BJP Krushak Morcha courted arrest before the Sub-Collector’s office at the Ganjam district headquarters at Chhatrapur on Monday demanding resignation of both State and Central Governments due to the massive corruptions and scams.
Before arrest, while addressing the rally, Panda said that due to the coal scam, Odisha has lost revenue worth Rs one lakh crore and |the country has lost Rs four lakh crore. Natural resources are the properties of people and the Government cannot arbitrarily use them for the benefit of a few industrial houses, he said.
Panda further said that with the arrival of Narendra Modi in the national scene, some political parties like the Congress, BJD, Left, and JD(U) are absolutely scared, fearing loss of power. The year 2014 would witness Modi on one side and the rest of the political parties and leaders on the other,he added.The demonstration was in response to the call by the BJP to launch a Jail Bharo stir from Monday across the State against the massive corruptions and scams by the BJD Government, particularly the coal and chit fund scams.
Among others who courted arrest included former Ganjam block chairman Surath Pahan, BJP district president Uma Pradhan, RSS worker Gauri Bhai, BJP leaders Dharanidhar Behera, Satrughna Mahankud, Sudam Roula and Ashok Panigrahi, farmer leader Hemanta Naik, Surendra Sethi and advocate N Rajendra Kumar.
