BHUBANESWAR:If the Congress wins the elections, everything is fine, but if the BJP wins, the allegations of vote theft are a sign of their two-faced policy, said MP and former Union Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, while participating in the “Save Loktantra – Remove Anarchy” march and public meeting held in Dhenkanal on Thursday.
On this occasion, remembering the youngest martyr of the land of Dhenkanal, Baji Raut, the valiant revolutionary leader of the Prajamandal movement, Sarangdhar Das, Veer Baishnab Charan Patnaik and Mahesh Chandra Subahu Singh, Shri Pradhan said that due to the unparalleled sacrifices and renunciations of these great fighters, today we are breathing in an independent and democratic nation.
Reacting sharply to the behavior of the opposition parties, Shri Pradhan said that due to the real power of democracy, today, the daughter of a tribal family from Odisha, respected Smt. Draupadi Murmu ji, has become the President of the country and the son of a common tea seller, Shri Narendra Modi ji, has become the Prime Minister of the country. But the top leadership of the Congress and the ‘Indi’ party, who have considered the country only as their family’s property without serving the public during their long rule, will never tolerate the leadership of these poor and tribal people.
Criticizing the Congress’s two-faced policy, the MP said that wherever the Congress wins, there is no vote theft, but they complain that when the BJP wins, there is vote theft. On the other hand, wherever the BJP loses elections, it accepts it as public opinion. Like ‘Angur Koli Na Phala Khata’, the leaders of the Congress and the ‘Indi’ alliance, frustrated by repeated electoral defeats in many states of the country including Odisha, have today suspended Parliament and launched a false propaganda against democracy, the Constitution, the Election Commission and public opinion.
The Congress and the ‘Indi’ coalition are crying crocodile tears today over vote theft and the voter list purge (SIR) process. In reality, they are not creating this false narrative for the rights of the common man, but to protect illegal infiltrators. Crying over the Babri Masjid, sympathizing with the terrorists in the Batla House encounter and raising questions about the surgical strikes by the country’s army have exposed their appeasement and anti-national face.
Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the ‘Double Engine Government’ has today brought about positive changes in the lives of every poor, farmer, women and youth of Odisha. To further accelerate this development campaign in the state and to protect the democracy and constitution of the country, Shri Pradhan has called upon all to come together and create awareness in the villages against the anarchy of the Congress and the ‘Indi’ camp and to take the slogan “Save Democracy – Remove Anarchy” to every door.
Many leaders and activists of the district, including Dhenkanal MP Shri Rudra Narayan Pani, participated in this walk and public meeting.
