Bhubaneswar: BJD Spokesperson Lenin Mohanty said Prithviraj Harichandan is unaware that BJP ruled Centre has awarded Odisha the best performing State in the country for rural housing.
Mohanty said Odisha provides nearly the same amount of financial resources/funds that the Central government provides for the housing programmes in the state.
The BJD spokesperson said the success of completing 20 lakh houses in five years by the BJD government has unnerved the BJP in Odisha.
Harichandan’s statement is a reflection of the fear and anger within Odisha BJP, he said added that the pro-poor, pro-people housing development programmes in Odisha under the leadership of Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik do not go down well with the BJP.
