Bhubaneswar:19/1/19: Ahead of the polls to the state assembly and Lok Sabha, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has once again raised the issue of according special category status to the State. In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, he requested him to grant of the status which will supplement the efforts to transform the state, spur industrial development and create jobs.

“Kindly consider Odisha’s request as a unique one and support us in the fast pace, inclusive development of Odisha,” Naveen said in his letter to the PM. He said the premise of the state’s demand is the “historical central neglect” and frequent natural calamities that have held back the state’s development.

Odisha, he said, has remained at the bottom of the country, be it in tele density, railway network, banking network coverage or the coverage of national highways and air connectivity due to the central neglect.

Naveen had put the demand for special category status before the 15th Finance Commission as well when senior officials of the commission visited Bhubaneswar last week.
