‘In BJP Govt, tea seller is PM, man in shanty Min' Sunday, 09 February 2020 | AJIT PANDA | NUAPADA

-

 Union Minister Pratap Sarangi paid one day visit to Nuapada district on Saturday to attend meetings of BJP cadres/members.

The Minister first visited the Gurukul Ashram at Amsena near Khariar Road and subsequently attended the meetings held at Nuapada and Khariar.

All senior party members including Kalahandi MP Basant Panda, district president of BJP Subrat Thakur, Sibaprashad Mund, former MLA Hitesh Bagartti, Housing Majhi and Nimai Charan Tandi attended the meetings. The Minister mainly spoke on CAA in both the meetings and credited BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for initiating bold steps to make India strong.

"BJP is the only party where a tea seller can be a PM and a person living in a hut like Pratap Sarangi can be a Minister, " said Sarangi and criticised Congress for encouraging the demonstrators at Sahinbagh to protest against CAA. "Above Rs 120 crore has come from foreign countries for sustaining demonstration at Sahinbagh. Congress is supporting them. It is right time to give them a just answer, who are trying to transform the whole country in to Sahinbagh," said Sarangi.

He further said India's security was at a stake and Narendra Modi through his leadership and dedication made the country safe. "The whole world is now looking India with respect. Time has now come to rethink, to transform the ideas and ideology of Gandhi into practice," he added.

He also said that the CAA was not to snatch citizenship, it was to accord citizenship to people who were persecuted in neighbouring muslim countries.

The NBWs were issued against DFO Sarat Chandra Panda, ACF Nityanand Naik and Forester Surendra Barik for deliberately defying summons of the JMFC for appearance in the court. The police are yet to arrest the officials, as they are absconding. The incident which led to such an unprecedented situation is peculiar. The DFO had issued an order for digging of a trench on the boundary line of forest land located near the JMFC court. The work resulted in the damage of a footpath and the water supply system leading to the court premises. Expressing discontent, the advocates of Khariar Bar Association requested the Forest Department to stop the work. However, the DFO instead of listening to them, justified his work stat...
