In Sambalpur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed a rally on Tuesday and declared that the BJP has already secured 310 seats in the Lok Sabha polls after five phases. He urged the people of Odisha to liberate the state from the clutches of 'babu-raj' and give the BJP the opportunity to form both the central and state government. With the party's symbol, the lotus, he believes that it is the perfect time for it to bloom in Odisha.
Shah confidently claimed that after the sixth and seventh phases of polls, the BJP will obtain over 400 seats. He also accused the current government of being controlled by a handful of officers and promised to put an end to the ongoing 'babu raj'. The BJD government was criticized for disrespecting the pride, language, culture, and traditions of Odisha. Shah assured the audience that if the BJP is elected, a young, energetic, hardworking, and dynamic Odia 'Bhumiputra' will be the chief minister of the state.
The Home Minister further added that Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is imposing 'Babu shahi' on Odisha and is suppressing the culture and dignity of the Odia people. He urged the people to vote for a BJP government in order to ensure speedy development and preserve their rich culture. Shah emphasized that it will be a 'Bhumiputra' who will rule the land of 'Utkala Bhumi', not a Tamil 'babu'.
Shah also expressed his concern over the state government's intention to convert the Jagannath temple into a commercial center. He stated that the mutts and temples have been destroyed and the four gates of the temple are still closed to the public. He also mentioned the attempt to obstruct the world-famous Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath. The Home Minister accused Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik of exploiting the state's mineral resources for his own gain.
Despite having abundant mineral resources, Odisha lacks a chief minister who can protect and utilize them for the state's benefit, Shah claimed. He also assured the people of western Odisha that the BJP is committed to the equal development of all regions of the state. To further improve the healthcare facilities in Sambalpur, Shah announced the construction of a 500-bed hospital and a medical college. He also promised to provide PF for Kendu leaf workers.
In conclusion, Shah emphasized the need for a BJP government in Odisha for the state's progress and preservation of its rich culture. He urged the people to vote for a 'Bhumiputra' instead of a Tamil 'babu' and ensure the end of 'babu raj' in the state.
