The village of Raikala in Keonjhar district is abuzz with excitement as they await the arrival of their new Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi. As a 'son of the soil', the villagers are hopeful that he will be able to solve all their problems. Raikala is a beautiful village with six hamlets, called 'Sahi', each with its own unique charm.
One such 'Sahi' was once home to Majhi himself. However, after being elected to the Odisha Legislative Assembly in 2004, it was renamed to 'MLA Sahi' in his honor. As the villagers eagerly await his return, they are proud to see one of their own take on such a prestigious role. In fact, many of them have left for Bhubaneswar to attend his swearing-in ceremony.
The village is currently under the watchful eyes of 10 armed security personnel, ever since Majhi's name was finalized as the Chief Minister. With a total population of 1,652, Raikala is a close-knit community where everyone knows each other. They are all happy and hopeful that their new Chief Minister will address their issues and improve their living conditions.
Budharam, an uncle of the new CM, shared that the villagers mainly rely on farming as their source of income, while some are employed in other industries. He also highlighted the problems faced by the village, such as poor connectivity and drinking water issues. The road from the main highway to the village is in dire need of repair, especially during the monsoon season. In the summers, the village suffers from a severe water crisis. However, with Majhi at the helm of affairs, the villagers are confident that these issues will be taken care of.
Khageswar Mohanta, a resident of Raikala, pointed out that the road connecting the village to the main highway was built when Majhi was first elected as an MLA. However, over the years, it has deteriorated significantly. He also mentioned that an overhead water tank was constructed last year, but it is yet to be connected to the households. As a result, the villagers still have to rely on tube wells for drinking water.
Many villagers also shared their struggles with finding proper housing. They are hopeful that the new Chief Minister will address this issue as well. Rukmini Mahanta, a resident of Raikala, shared that there are no street lights on the village road, making it difficult for people to move around at night. She suggested that installing solar lights would be a great help for the villagers.
As the village prepares for the homecoming of their 'son of the soil', they are filled with hope and optimism for a brighter future under the leadership of Mohan Charan Majhi. They are confident that their new Chief Minister will fulfill their expectations and bring about positive changes in their beloved village of Raikala.
