Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Sunday said that the ‘Ratna Bhandar’ of Jagannath Temple in Puri will be opened soon.
Speaking at a felicitation ceremony of newly elected Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs and MLAs of the state organised in Bhubaneswar Sunday, CM Majhi said “There is an emotional question in everybody’s mind that when the Ratna Bhandar will be opened. I want to say that Ratna Bhandar will be opened soon and inventory will be carried out of the ornaments of the Holy Trinity kept there. Stern action would be taken against those who will be found guilty and nobody will be spared.”
He said that the BJP government will work hard to protect ‘Odia Asmita’ and make Odisha the number 1 state in India. Odisha is included in the pledge of PM Modi of a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
Majhi further asserted that BJP succeeded in forming the government on its own after a long struggle only due to the hard work of the workers and leaders.
CM Majhi again reiterated that the much-hyped ‘Subhadra Yojana’ will be launched in the state September 17, the birthday of PM Narendra Modi.
The women beneficiaries will get a cash voucher of Rs 50,000 under the yojana, one of the major poll promises of BJP.
Senior party leaders including CM Majhi, two Deputy CMs KV Singh Deo and Pravati Parida, three Union Ministers – namely Dharmendra Pardhan, Ashwini Vaishnaw and Jual Oram — state unit BJP president Manmohan Samal, other MPs and MLAs of the party were present on the felicitation programme held here Sunday.
Speaking on the occasion, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that new railway projects worth Rs 1 lakh crore will be implemented in Odisha in the next five years.
He said that Odisha was neglected in the past by the previous Congress-led UPA government at the Centre and the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government in Odisha.
“With the blessings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we will bring railway projects worth Rs 1 lakh crore to Odisha in the next five years,” said Vaishnaw.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that the BJP government in the state will work hard to fulfil the expectations of the people of Odisha with the blessings of Lord Jagannath and the support and guidance of PM Modi.
The senior BJP leaders assured the people at the event that all the promises made in the election manifesto of the party will be fulfilled.
