TALCHER/BHUBANESWAR:Congress cannot tolerate the leadership of the poor and tribals, said MP and former Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan while addressing a gathering in Angul on Wednesday while participating in the “Save Democracy – Remove Anarchy” march.
In this walk, he has hit out at the anarchy, corruption, anti-democratic nature and anti-development mentality of the opposition Congress party. The people of the country have completely rejected the anarchy and appeasement politics of the Congress. After losing elections repeatedly, Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party are today campaigning against democracy, the Election Commission and the Constitution, which is a reflection of their frustration. Shri Pradhan said that people have repeatedly rejected the Congress in Odisha since 1998 for 2024 consecutive elections. Today, the Congress has completely lost its mark in many states including Odisha, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and many others.
Due to the real power of democracy, today, the daughter of a tribal family from Odisha, Hon’ble Draupadi Murmu ji, has become the President of the country and the son of a common tea seller, Shri Narendra Modi, has become the Prime Minister of the country. But the top leadership of the Congress and the Gandhi family are not able to accept this poor and tribal leadership easily. After losing in repeated elections, Rahul Gandhi and the Congress leaders are campaigning against democracy, the Constitution, the Election Commission and the public opinion.
The countrymen have rejected leaders who do not serve their families during their long tenure and only think about their family estates. Referring to Sonia Gandhi’s book and past statements, Shri Pradhan said that the Congress’s lament over the Babri Masjid and sympathy for terrorists on the Batla House encounter issue have exposed their appeasement mentality. Raising questions about the sacrifices of the country’s army, police and paramilitary forces and the surgical strikes shows the Congress’s anti-national face.
The ‘double engine government’ under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ushered in a new era of development in Odisha. The distribution of over 5 lakh new allowances, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, road construction and rural development work are progressing at a rapid pace in the state.
Dhenkanal MP Shri Rudra Narayan Pani, Angul MLA Shri Pratap Chandra Pradhan, Pallahara MLA Ashok Mohanty, Chendipada MLA Shri Agasti Behera and many senior leaders and activists of the district were present in this walk and rally. Shri Pradhan has called for creating awareness in the villages against this anarchy and low mentality.
