Centre had Cheated Kendrapara, Says MP Anubhav Mohanty

-


Anubhav Mohanty has been elected as the new Member of Parliament from Kendrapara. Mohanty, an Odia film star, defeated the former MP Baijayant Panda of BJP by a margin of over 6 lakh votes on BJD ticket. In an interview with Orissa POST, Anubhav speaks his heart out. Excerpts:

OP: Your first reaction after becoming the MP from Kendrapara?

I am really thankful to all those who believed in me. The most important person in my political life has always been Naveen Patnaik Sir who believed in me so much and gave me such a huge responsibility to represent Kendrapara and work for the people there. It had been considered as Biju Babu’s most important work field. People of Kendrapara always loved Biju Babu and after him it is only Naveen Babu. I have vowed to work for the development of the area.

OP: All the newly-elected BJD MPs met the party supremo Naveen Patnaik Sunday. What message he gave to the MPs?

Since the people of Odisha have decided to choose Naveen Babu as their CM for the fifth time, we should not sit idle. We all elected representatives should honour the mandate of the people. We must honour the people and work towards their development. We have to ensure that we work harder and stronger to target the areas the Centre has ignored and neglected. Every single right that we deserve must come to our state. For every right that the people of Odisha deserve we have to ensure it descends on them through our efforts as elected representatives. Naveen Babu asked us to work harder to achieve these.

 OP: Any discussion on party’s Chief Whip in the Lok Sabha or other roles of MPs in Parliament?

No such decisions on such subjects in Sunday’s meeting. It will take some time perhaps. Naveen Sir will certainly announce that in time.

OP: What major problems you saw in your constituency which needs Central attention?

It is really shameful that since Independence the people of Kendrapara have not enjoyed the railways facility. It is actually a shameful thing for the entire nation. Our Chief Minister had always been writing to the Railway Ministry and speaking to the people concerned; but things have not been done there properly. Now, people have realised that the Centre is actually cheating them. Centre is keeping them away from their rights. This cannot continue any more. They have to bend down for the honour of the people and they need to come forward for their requirements.

Jagatsinghpur: Infighting, Heat Wave Rattle Parties

Jagatsinghpur: The election to the Jagatsinghhpur Lok Sabha constituency and its Assembly segments will be held April 29 during the fourth phase of polls. However, the usual sheen is missing in the campaign in Jagatsinghpur Assembly constituency although just five days are left for the polling. Observers said that this is due to the infighting in all parties, the heat wave and the lack of coordination among party workers and their leaders. All political parties are conducting roadshows, meetings and door to door campaigns, but that has failed to impress voters. The campaigning so far has been lacklustre, but was expected to pick up after the third phase of elections Tuesday. This time the BJD has not fielded its senior leader Bishnu Das from Jagatsinghpur Assembly seat. Instead the party has fielded Prasant Muduli as its candidate and has fielded Bishnu Das from the Tirtol Assembly seat (reserved). Muduli is the incumbent MLA of Balikuda-Erasama constituency in the district.

Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Thursday targeted the BJP candidate for Kendrapara Lok Sabha seat, Baijayant Panda, alleging that he wanted to be the chief of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance to help his family business. BJD spokespersons Sulata Deo, Lenin Mohanty and Sasmit Patra addressed a joint press conference here and said that former MP Panda desperately wanted to become the Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance in 2014 so that he can help his family business grow. “Panda’s only interest was to ensure that his mining company Imfa got billions as loans from banks and financial institutions. He thought that as the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance in Parliament he can influence banks and further his business interests,” Patra alleged. “In May 2014 when the state government was formed after elections, Panda informed a Board of Directors meeting of Imfa held May 20, 2014, that the mining company has succeeded in get
