Odisha Election 2024: Addressing the press and media today on the social media post by Union Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, the BJD MP and National Spokesperson Dr. Sasmit Patra said, “Shri. Dharmendra Pradhan’s failure as a Union Minister is well known.
He hasn’t established even a single Central Skill Development Center in the districts of Dhenkanal, Angul and Deogarh. People of Dhenkanal and Sambalpur have been repeatedly raising the issue of the NH-55 and how hundreds of precious lives are being lost due to its very precarious condition. He repeatedly refuses to address this issue or speak on this issue. When he is now contesting from Sambalpur, how will he face those families who have lost their loved ones in such accidents.
As a Union Education Minister he has not established a single Kendriya Vidyalaya in the districts of Dhenkanal, Sambalpur, Angul and Deogarh. Even he hasn’t been able to build a single smart classroom in his own village. That’s why BJP lost in the Panchayat elections in his own village.
On the other hand, BJD Government has transformed high school education through smart classrooms, digital libraries and state of art infrastructure through 5T initiative. He is unable to see all that transformation. Shri. Dharmendra Pradhan is actually sad that Odisha has been awarded ‘Award of Excellence’ under the 5T initiative ‘Drink from Tap Mission’.”, Dr. Patra, added.
