Amit Shah claims BJP has won 310 seats in LS elections after 5 phases, says at Odisha rally.

In a fiery speech at an election rally in Sambalpur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah made a strong appeal to the people of Odisha. He declared that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has already secured 310 seats in the Lok Sabha polls after five phases and is confident of winning more than 400 seats in the upcoming rounds. Shah, who was accompanied by Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, promised that this time the lotus, the party's symbol, will bloom in Odisha.

Shah did not hold back in his criticism of the current state government, accusing them of running a "babu-raj" and neglecting the needs of the people. He also claimed that the state has been ruled by a "handful of officers" and it's time for a change. He further added that the BJP will give a young, dynamic and hardworking "Bhumiputra" (son of the soil) as the chief minister of Odisha if voted to power.

The Home Minister also highlighted the disrespect shown by the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government towards the pride, language, culture, and tradition of Odisha. He promised that a BJP government will not only bring speedy development to the state but also preserve its rich heritage and culture. He stressed that the people of Odisha deserve a leader who truly understands their needs and struggles, not someone who is an outsider like the current chief minister.

Shah also accused the BJD government of attempting to commercialize the sacred Jagannath temple and destroying other religious institutions in the state. He expressed his concern over the lack of access to the temple for the public and the attempted halt of the world-famous Rath Yatra. He promised that under a BJP government, the state's religious institutions will be protected and respected.

Furthermore, the Home Minister criticized Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for allegedly exploiting the state's mineral resources for personal gain. He pointed out that despite being rich in mineral resources, Odisha does not have a leader who can safeguard them. He promised that a BJP government will ensure equal development in all parts of the state, including western Odisha, which has been neglected by the current government.

In his concluding remarks, Shah announced that if elected, the BJP will build a 500-bed hospital and medical college in Sambalpur and also provide provident fund (PF) for Kendu leaf workers. He urged the people of Odisha to vote for BJP and bring an end to the "babu-raj" and usher in a new era of development and progress for the state.
