BJP's double-engine government has proved a double-betrayal for people of Odisha: BJD
BHUBANESWAR: The BJD on Saturday accused the BJP government in the state of betraying the mandate of the people as all the promises made by the saffron party before election have turned to be lies. Addressing a press conference at Shankha Bhawan, three senior leaders - former ministers Sanjay Kumar Das Burma and Snehangini Chhuria, and general secretary Bhrugu Baxipatra alleged that the 'double engine' government has delivered 'double betrayal' to the people in the first year. 'The BJP government is claiming credit for opening four gates of Srimandir and opening of Ratna Bhandar. But why is it shying away from making the Justice Raghubir Das report on the missing key of Ratna Bhandar public? This exposes BJP's double standards,' Das Burma said. Furthermore, the re-inventorisation of the jewellery and other valuables of Ratna Bhandar has still not been completed. The redevelopment work of Srimandir has come to a standstill. The government is even unable to form a new temple management committee, he added. Claiming that Odisha received 18.9 per cent less central grants in 2024-25 compared to the previous fiscal, the former minister said this exposed the hollowness of 'double-engine, double-development' claims. On the Subhadra Yojana, Chhuria said they initially promised to provide Rs 50,000 to every woman in the state within two years. But, the amount is being distributed in two installments of Rs 5,000 each every year which comes down to just Rs 27 per day. This is an insult to women's dignity, she said. Criticising the Odisha Vision Document, Baxipatra said the document released by Modi sets a target of a 9 per cent GDP growth rate for Odisha while other states are aiming at achieving 15 per cent. He said the Naveen Patnaik government had already achieved 16 pc growth rate.

Delhi CM leads yoga on banks of Yamuna, vows clean-up
NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday performed yoga on the banks of the Yamuna River on the occasion of International Yoga Day, taking a swipe at former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. She said her act aimed to highlight her administration's commitment to cleaning the river - something she alleged the AAP government failed to do despite years of promises. Besides the CM, her ministerial colleagues, Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, Mayor, and others participated in yoga sessions at various locations across the national capital. The Delhi government organised programmes at 11 prominent locations in the city to mark the occasion, with ministers, MLAs, and BJP MPs actively participating in the celebrations. Speaking on the occasion, the CM emphasised that Yoga Day should not be seen as a one-day event but rather as a lifestyle choice. 'A healthy citizen is the foundation of a prosperous nation,' she said, reiterating that turning Delhi into the health capital of the country is a shared responsibility. On choosing the Yamuna bank as the venue, she said, 'The purpose was to show people that the cleaning work of the river is underway. Yamuna is a symbol of our faith, but the previous governments ignored it. They did not work to clean it. But in the four months that we have been in power, we have made significant efforts toward its rejuvenation.' Targeting the AAP, Gupta said the previous government chose not to celebrate Yoga Day because of its association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'If they associate yoga with Prime Minister Modi, what can we do? Tomorrow, he might leave his food too if it's linked to the PM. After seeing the BJP government in Delhi, he left the national capital,' she remarked.

Puducherry government takes people for a ride by hiking taxes, duties through backdoor: V. Narayanasamy
Former Puducherry Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy, on Sunday (June 22, 2025) charged Chief Minister N. Rangasamy of taking people for a ride by hiking taxes and other duties through the backdoor. Speaking to reporters, he said the Chief Minister and his Cabinet colleagues had been making tall claims that the government had presented a tax-free budget for the current fiscal. But in reality, the taxes have been hiked exorbitantly. The government has hiked bus fare, fuel charges, power tariff and increased the excise duty by more than 100% while the Guideline Land Register (GLR) value has also been hiked affecting all sections of people, he said. Mr. Narayanasamy said the ruling AINRC-BJP coalition government had failed to fulfill its promises made to the people during the elections. Election promises such as reopening of ration shops, waiver of farm loans, and revival of the lone cooperative sugar mill and textile mills are not fulfilled. Over 10,000 workers attached to government undertakings including PASIC and PAPSCO have been left in the lurch due to closure and no steps have been taken to reopen them, he said. Alleging that the government was steeped in corruption, Mr. Narayanasamy said that there was hardly any department where there were no corrupt practices, officials were seeking bribes. 'We [Congress] have made serious corruption charges against ruling party members and Ministers during the last four years of AINRC- BJP government. There is no fear of law,' he said. In the latest incident, the former Chief Minister said that R. Sriganth, Assistant on deputation as Sub-Registrar (Rural) in the Registration Department was seen taking a bribe in a toilet in the Registration Department. Though the officer was transferred about two months ago, he was not relieved and was allowed to continue in the Registration Department. This incident has validated the corruption charges levelled by the Congress party against the ruling AINRC-BJP government in Puducherry. The Congress has been collecting details of corruption and other malpractices in the government departments. All this will be compiled in the form of a petition and the party would submit a detailed report on the scenario in Puducherry during a meeting with the President Droupadi Murmu in August, he said.
