Modi uses his power to control the people like a remote control: Jagadev.

In Bhubaneswar, the political scene has been stirred up by Prasanta Kumar Jagadav, a lawmaker who recently won the Khurda Assembly constituency under the BJP ticket. On Monday, he made a statement that caused quite a stir among the state's party leaders. He claimed that from now on, all decisions and actions in the state will be controlled by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. "We all know Modiji's ways. Despite being ministers and MLAs here, the remote control is in his hands, and it will be operated from Delhi," Jagadav revealed, having joined the saffron party from BJD before the elections.

Speaking to the press, Jagadav expressed his utmost confidence in Odisha's future, citing Prime Minister Modi's prediction that it will soon become the number one state in the country. "We have already witnessed Modiji's predictions coming true," he proudly declared, referring to the BJP's victory in the Assembly polls. "And I see no reason why this cannot be achieved," he added. Expanding on his thoughts, Jagadav pointed out the state's long-standing issue of being "rich in resources but poor in people." He reminded everyone that even Biju Patnaik had emphasized the need for fiscal autonomy to elevate the state's standards. With the BJP government at the center and in the state, this goal can finally be realized, according to Jagadav.

Taking a dig at the previous BJD government, Jagadav highlighted the new administration's biggest achievement in the short time since taking charge - the elimination of "officer raj." This system had created a barrier between the government and the people, with common folks being denied entry into government offices, including the Secretariat. "Now, not only are the doors of the CM's Office open, but so are the gates of the Jagannath Temple. Even a common man can meet the CM and address their grievances," he noted. "This sets the tone for the government's tenure, and I believe it will leave a lasting impression," he added. Jagadav also commended the noticeable change in the attitude and behavior of officials within just 24 hours of the government taking charge, even before the allocation of departments. "We are all pleased with this change, and it was much needed. The government and administration must work hand in hand, without any power struggles," he concluded.
