BJD Criticizes Odisha BJP on New Secretariat Project

BJD Criticizes Odisha BJP on New Secretariat Project

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD), an opposition party in Odisha, India, is criticizing the current BJP government for starting a big construction project.

The project is for a new state secretariat and a new building for the Odisha Legislative Assembly.

The BJD says the BJP is doing this to distract people from the government's failures.

They point out that the state's debt has increased a lot since the BJP took over, and there are many problems like bad law and order and issues with farmers.

The BJD also says the government is using the idea of more assembly seats to justify the project, but there's no clear plan for that yet.

They believe the government should focus on solving real problems instead of starting new big projects.
