In line with his commitment to holistic development of Odisha, the Prime Minister also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of multiple development projects worth over
Rs 18,600 crore. These projects will cover critical sectors including drinking water, irrigation, agricultural infrastructure, health infrastructure, rural roads and bridges, sections of national highways, and a new railway line.

Notedly, last year BJP came to power with a full majority unseating Naveen Patnaik’s BJD Government and dethroned the unbeatable former Chief Minister of Odisha, who won every election since 2000, and ruled the state for 24 years.
The BJP’s performance in Odisha in the Lok Sabha elections, where the Biju Janata Dal dropped to zero, gave the BJP crucial numbers in Parliament as its tally fell sharply in other parts of the country.
The BJP victory in Odisha was seen a massive victory not only in the state but also perhaps a bump for numbers in Parliament and the BJP Government will present a comprehensive “report card” to the public, highlighting its achievements over the past year.
Preparations for these events are in their final stages, with a focus on showcasing the success of people-centric schemes like Subhadra and Ayushman Bharat, alongside other welfare initiatives introduced by the state government.

Odisha’s support is his strength; our faith inspires him to work. They phave been working with the blessings of Lord
Sri Jagannath and the inspiration of PM Modi. No obstacle, discussion or criticism can stop us from serving you.
