Babus sitting in the A/C rooms have started deciding BJD party activities:Baijayant Panda

Salipur30/5/17:: Amid protests, Kendrapara MP Baijayant Panda today inaugurated an overhead water tank project in presence of hundred of his supporters at Jatiparilo village under Rahania Panchayat near Mahanga in Cuttack district.

The project is one of the 52 ongoing drinking water projects in Kendrapara which will address the water scarcity problem in the area. Each overhead tank will supply 1 lakh litres of water. Inaugurating the project, Panda said this is the 10th project which became operational. “Imagine how beneficial it will be for the people once 52 lakh litres of water will cater to their needs. I am surprised why local leaders, workers, despite being invited to the inaugural function, protested. The inaugural plaques had names of local leaders and this particular plaque that was damaged yesterday also had the leaders’ name engraved”, Panda added.

Expressing his concern, the MP said the protesting people have to answer the public. “I have been in the party since beginning. In the first 17 years, we had a policy to resist hooliganism and infighting, but in the last three years many things have changed. Some Babus sitting in the A/C rooms have started deciding the party activities leading to indiscipline. These are not good signs. I had apprised the matter to the party chief and I am sure once he gets to know the truth, he will certainly take steps”, Panda pointed out.
