Maliya, 13/11 : A workers’ conference was held on Thursday by the BJD party in the Madiya Block Sadar Mahkuma bordering Malkangiri District. In this meeting, the opposition to the various schemes of the government and the suggestions of the MLAs for the development of the rural areas from the panchayats and block parties have been disclosed. On the occasion of this workers conference, a special meeting was organized in the playground near the old block office in Maliya Block Sadar Mahkuma under the chairmanship of Block BJJ President Chinam Rabid Kumar. It is said that the BJJ government under the leadership of Naveen Patnaik has been leading the state towards development for the last 25 years, but in the last two years the BJP government has only changed colors and is saying development slogans. For this, it has been decided that every worker of the party should reach out to the people and inform them about the availability of the previous government. On this occasion, Malkangiri district president Manas Madkami highlighted the failure of the current government and said that the government MLAs are pressing to give 40 percent of the various block and panchayat level works of Malkangiri district as per the recommendations of the MLAs. In addition, the BJP government has reduced the power of people’s representatives at the panchayat level and is killing democracy at the grassroots level. After this, hundreds of BJ workers were seen marching to the main bazaar and reaching the weekly market in a huge rally. All eight panchayat representatives including Samari Tangulu, senior BJC worker Prabhakar Hantal, district council member Mamata Madhami, tribal leader Khanshyam Madkami, Malkangiri Block BJC president Sarb Kumar Bishoyi, Damburu Bagha, Sheshak Ravi Madri Laxmanshu Sahu, Ganga Karam, Laxman Madkami were present in this meeting. More than one thousand BJM workers were present in this program while many district level workers were present.
