Naveen Misused Administration: Jay Narayan

-




BJP’s veteran leader Jay Narayan Mishra, who has been elected as the new Sambalpur MLA, is speculated to become the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly. In an interview to Orissa POST, Mishra analyses the 2019 elections. Excerpts:

Your first reaction to winning Sambalpur Assembly seat?
It is now a regular affair. I had earlier served as an MLA for 14 years; again, the voters have entrusted me with the task of serving them. The triumph has come as a responsibility which we have to
respect and perform.

Now you have a government at the Centre with more BJP MPs and MLAs in state Assemblies. Has the BJP been able to achieve its dream?
Now we have been able to get only one engine (BJP government at the Centre), other could be drivers of the engine but we have not been able to get the ‘Double Engine’ governments although we talked about that.

What plans you have to ensure that what you do is what other MLAs in Sambalpur could not do?
My first priority would be to give impetus to the projects that are hanging in balance. Many new projects and ideas are needed to develop Sambalpur. There is need for a garbage plant there, a ring road is required there, IIM building work is pending, and drinking water projects and electricity are some of the other areas which need attention. We will try to ensure Sambalpur gets Smart City tag.

BJP is now mulling to appoint you as the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly.
I do not see much into the speculations. I will accomplish the tasks the party has entrusted on me and fulfil the aspirations of the people of the state. I am ready to serve them. Will try how the party gains confidence and strength in the Assembly.

BJP had claimed to win 120+ Assembly seats, but it failed. Why the target was missed?
Nothing has failed. It was a slogan for the election campaigning. If not 120 seats, we were at No. 2 at 80 seats and won at 23 seats. Around 104 seat target we could have achieved. But some outperformed due to the misuse of administration and other government agencies. With the use of administration, money and muscle power Naveen Patnaik outsmarts Mamata Banerjee.

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
