On Thursday, the Bharatiya Janata Party president JP Nadda directed an attack at the ruling Biju Janata Dal in Odisha indicating that there was "corruption" and urged the people to favour the BJP in the assembly and Lok Sabha polls. Addressing a public meeting in the Bargarh district on Thursday, just a little ahead of the fifth phase of polling for Lok Sabha elections on May 20, Nadda said that if voted to power, the BJP will implement welfare schemes for people including women.
"Is corruption taking place under BJD rule or not? Officers are indulging in corruption or not...they have embezzled crores of rupees," he said. "Will you let these people come to power again?... This is the time to bless the BJP party by making it win," he added. According to Nadda, the chief minister of Odisha needs to be a leader who is your brother, understands the state`s culture, and speaks its language. "It is a question of Odisha`s self-pride," he said, reported ANI.
