New Year greetings to the people of Orissa. I wish all inclusive growth in the state and a corruption-free society. In this New Year, I appeal the people to root out the politicians, who promised something to the people but betrayed them. Over75 per cent of our people are deprived from safe drinking water. Whichever political party is responsible for it must be thrown into the Bay of Bengal.
