BHUBANESWAR: The BJP on Friday alleged that the BJD knows what the election result will be this time. That’s why it was showing the greed of allowance to the elderly, the greed of loan waiver to women self-help groups, after showing the hope of increase in the price of production to the farmers, now they are looking at the students. Under the supervision of the chief minister’s close aids, the state government’s “Nua-O” call center is calling college graduates and asking them to vote for the BJD.
Those who refuse are told that the Rs 10,000 you received was given by the ruling party and Naveen government. Such action of BJD is violating the election code of conduct. This is a long-standing practice of the ruling BJD and the BJP has given many proofs to the state Chief Election Officer regarding such incidents in the past as well. BJ New-O call center number 8042 303072 calls are coming. Today, a BJP delegation led by state vice president Golak Mohapatra met the state election officer and gave the certificate. BJD is paying call center people with government money. They are also using them in their party propaganda. All call centers of BJD should be closed and strict action should be taken against him.
In order to win the current election, BJD has violated the laws and policies. The government continues to use force. Despite repeated complaints to the state election officials, there is no difference, rather such illegal activities continue. In the context of free, fair and impartial elections in the state, we have presented various allegations against the ruling BJJ “New-O” with facts and evidence to the election officials. Mr. Mahapatra said, “We have once again demanded that the state election officials intervene immediately in such a sensitive incident.”
State Secretary Kasturi Mishra, State Election Cell Coordinator Jayant Jena, Farmers’ Morcha Treasurer Viswajit Swayum, Santhimayi Makdam were prominently present in this delegation.
