Support the Naveen Government.By: Prasanta Biswal | 30-May-2009Reply | ForwardEvery Government has right to publicise its success and its on us citizens to accept or reject. I think under Naveen Patnaik's leadership, Orissa has started to grow. Though things have not yet come to the expected level but have definitely improved. Till the late 90's there was no ray of hope among the educated young oriyas to get a standard livelihood but today we have our own aspirations and we can dare to dream of living in a developped state. A major part of the credit goes to Mr. Patnaik, who has managed to take task from the same old inefficient politicians and beurocrats! He has helped us to believe that we can be number one in the country soon despite of heavy discrimination by the central Governments.I salute the truely committed and dedicated man on chair and pledge all support as a common citizen. You can only believe if you see the love among the poor for Naveen when you see it. Its not less than what is used to be for Gandhi Neheru in the past.Keep it up!
Orissa most backward in delivery mechanismBy: Amiya | 22-May-2009Reply | ForwardJay Panda is a close associate of Naveen, the article is not neutral, Orissa is just following Andhra Pardesh during Naidu. 2 kg rice and money power can win any election in Orissa these days, during Naveen Bhubaneswar is getting more urbanized, govt spending thousands of crore in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, KBK remians most backward in the country, Biju KBK Yoijana budget for all round development is 100 crore annucally, for 20% population and 30% geographical area, where as Bhubaneswar road network for less than 3% population and not even 1 % of geography budget is 700 crore, water, energy, and other porjects are additional. This time police varification of a passport takes a year in Orissa whereas in most part of the country passport is issued within two months, Orissa is still most backward in delivery mechanism for its people.
Is there real growth or just urbanizing BBSR?By: Sangram | 22-May-2009Reply | ForwardOrissa has just changed in economy due to mining policy, credit to Naveen and thanks to iron
Orissa is still underdevelopedBy: Sanjib Kumar Karmee | 22-May-2009Reply | ForwardNaveen won this time because of Rs 2 per kilo rice scheme.Not only for the development in Orissa. You should go and see how people are still suffering in KBK area and other tribal areas. CM should bring fast track change in Orissa. Large part of Orissa still do not have health facilities. My Jay Panda should go out of BBSR and he should rewrite the article.
PAPPU....By: SUSANTA CHAKRABORTY | 22-May-2009Reply | ForwardThere is no doubt about the efficiency with which Mr. Patnaik has been able to keep the power brokers and hangeron in place. In this term Mr. Patnaik must put his effort in delivery mechanism. The state bureaucarcy must be made accountable and more people friendly including the DC, DM and block level officers. Large part of Orissa still does not have medical facilities. Hope Mr. Jay Panda shall keep this in mind.
