“June 4 is the expiry date of the BJD government… On June 4, BJP’s CM face will be announced. On June 10, the swearing-in ceremony of BJP’s CM will take place, in Bhubaneswar. Today, I am here to invite all of you to the swearing-in ceremony of BJP’s CM,” he said.
PM Modi also slammed BJD government, stating that the small leaders of the party have become owners of big bungalows.
“In Odisha, it was Congress for around 50 years, and BJD for around 25 years. But what happened, everyone has seen! Odisha has fertile land, mineral resources, sea coasts, a trade centre like that of Berhampur, culture, heritage and what not. There is everything in Odisha. Then why is it so that Odisha is rich but its people are poor… Who is responsible for this sin? The answer is Congress and BJD! Small leaders of BJD have also become owners of big bungalows,” he said.
