He may also inaugurate the newly-constructed Sonepur station and flag-off a train on the Bolangir-Sonepur section (47 km) of the Khurda Road-Bolangir new line (301 km) project. Once inaugurated, Sonepur will get rail connectivity, an official said.

In a press release on Thursday, the NHAI said the prime minister on Saturday will dedicate three transformative highway projects built at a cost of Rs 2,045 crore.

The projects are four-laning of Biramitrapur to Brahmani bypass end section of NH-143 covering 24 km and built at a cost of Rs 679 crore; four-laning of Brahmani bypass end to Rajamunda Section of NH-143 spanning 47 km with an investment of Rs 538 crore in Sundargarh district and four-laning of Rimuli to Koida Section of NH-520, stretching 42 km, developed at a cost of Rs 828 crore, in Keonjhar district.

The NHAI release also informed that the highway sections of NH-143 from Biramitrapur to Brahmani bypass and Brahmani bypass end to Rajamunda include a four-lane flyover at Vedvyas and the long-awaited 473-metre-long six-lane bridge over River Brahmani.

The project provides enhanced connectivity to Rourkela, the region’s industrial hub, and Jharkhand. It will reduce travel time, easing the movement of goods and people between the two states. Besides, it will also facilitate smoother traffic flow to the district headquarters and Jharsuguda Airport through the Biju Expressway (SH-10), it added.

Earlier during the day, NTPC’s regional executive director (Eastern Region I & II) Sudip Nag informed that the PM will also inaugurate the NTPC Darlipali Super Thermal Power Station (2800 MW) and the NSPCL Rourkela PP Expansion Project (1250 MW) and lay the foundation stone of NTPC Talcher Thermal Power Project, Stage-lII (2660 MW), with a total investment of Rs 28,978 crore.

Located in Sundergarh district, the Darlipali STPP is a pit-head power station with supercritical (highly efficient) technology and will supply low-cost power to its beneficiary states such as Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Gujarat and Sikkim.

The 250 MW project of NTPC-SAIL Power Company Ltd was established in Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) to provide reliable power for the steel plant, which is vital for economic growth, he said. He said the corporation, which is developing the Talcher Thermal Power Project, Stage-III, within the old TTPS plant premises in Angul district, was taken over by it from Odisha State Electricity Board in 1995.

After completing more than 50 years of service, the old TTPS plant was decommissioned. The upcoming plant will have highly efficient ultra-supercritical technology-based units and approximately three times the capacity of the old TTPS plant. While 50 per cent capacity of this project is dedicated to Odisha, other beneficiary states such as Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Assam will also get low-cost power from this pit-head station.

This project is under construction with all modern environmental features like efficient electrostatic precipitator, flue gas desulphurization, bio-mass cofiring, and covered storage space for coal, and help in lesser specific coal consumption and C02 emissions, the official said.

श्री रामजानकी की जय !

बाबा पटिया वाले की जय !

मैं वीरों की धरती को, मुरैना की मिट्टी को श्रद्धापूर्वक नमन करता हूँ। मुरैना ने हमेशा उन्हीं का साथ दिया है, जिनके लिए राष्ट्र प्रथम है। आप सबका उत्साह देखकर मैं कह सकता हूं, कि मुरैना आज भी न अपने संकल्प से डिगा है, न डिगेगा। मुरैना ने मन बना लिया है- फिर एक बार... मोदी सरकार! फिर एक बार... मोदी सरकार!

एमपी के लोग जानते हैं कि समस्या से एक बार पीछा छूट जाए तो फिर उस समस्या से उससे दूर ही रहना चाहिए।काँग्रेस पार्टी ऐसी ही विकास-विरोधी एक बहुत बड़ी समस्या है। चंबल के लोग काँग्रेस का वो दौर कैसे भूल सकते हैं! काँग्रेस ने चंबल की पहचान खराब कानून व्यवस्था वाले क्षेत्र के तौर पर बना दी थी। उस दौर में कांग्रेस ने एमपी को देश के बीमारू राज्यों की लाइन में खड़ा कर दिया था।

भाइयों-बहनों,

भाजपा की सरकार ने कांग्रेस के बनाए गड्ढों को भरने के बाद एमपी और चंबल को नई पहचान दिलाई है। गौरवपूर्ण पहचान दिलाई है। भाजपा सरकार में चंबल-कालीसिंध-पार्वती लिंक परियोजना से सिंचाई की समस्या दूर होगी। पानी की समस्या को दूर करने के लिए हम मूंझरी बांध जैसे प्रोजेक्ट पर काम कर रहे हैं। ढ़ाई हजार करोड़ रुपए की लागत से ग्वालियर-श्योपुर रेलवे ट्रैक हो, आधुनिक इनफ्रास्ट्रक्चर के ऐसे अनेक काम इस क्षेत्र की तस्वीर बदल रहे हैं। यहां लेदर पार्क भी विकसित किया जा रहा है। हमारे साथी ज्योतिरादित्य सिंधिया जी की देखरेख में ‘ब्रांड ग्वालियर’ को भी मजबूत किया गया है। भाजपा सरकार में हुये विकास को भिंड, मुरैना, ग्वालियर के वो लोग और ज्यादा अनुभव कर रहे हैं, जिन्होंने काँग्रेस का वो काला दौर देखा है। 4 जून के बाद हमारे तेजतर्रार मुख्यमंत्री मोहन यादव जी के नेतृत्व में मध्यप्रदेश का विकास और स्पीड पकड़ने जा रहा है।

भाजपा के लिए देश से बड़ा और कुछ नहीं है और कांग्रेस के लिए अपना परिवार ही सब कुछ है। काँग्रेस की पॉलिसी है- जो देश के लिए सबसे ज्यादा योगदान करे, सबसे ज्यादा मेहनत करे, सबसे ज्यादा समर्पण करे, उसे सबसे पीछे रखो। इसीलिए, काँग्रेस सरकार ने इतने वर्षों तक सेना के जवानों की वन रैंक, वन पेंशन जैसी मांग नहीं पूरी होने दी। हमने सरकार बनते ही OROP को लागू किया। हमने सीमा पर खड़े जवानों की सुविधा की भी चिंता की। काँग्रेस सरकार ने जवानों के जो हाथ बांध रखे थे, हमने उन्हें भी खुली छूट दी। हमने कहा अगर एक गोली आती है तो 10 गोली चलनी चाहिए, अगर एक गोला फेंकते हैं तो 10 तोपें चल जानी चाहिए।   

भाइयों बहनों,

आज हम देश में लाखो स्वयं सहायता समूहों के जरिए महिलाओं की मदद कर रहे हैं। मोदी ने गांव-गांव में शौचालय बनवाकर माताओं-बहनों के सम्मान की रक्षा की है। अब अगले 5 वर्षों के लिए मोदी ने 3 करोड़ महिलाओं को लखपति दीदी बनाने की गारंटी दी है। 3 करोड़ महिलाएं जब लखपति दीदी बनती है तो उस परिवार की, उस गांव की सारी अर्थव्यवस्था तेज गति से दौड़ने लग जाती है। 

आप सब जानते हैं, आज़ादी के समय काँग्रेस ने धर्म के नाम पर देश का विभाजन स्वीकार किया था। मां भारती के हाथों की जंजीरें काटने के बजाय कांग्रेस ने मां भारती की भुजाएं ही काट दी थी। देश के टुकड़े-टुकड़े कर दिए थे, लेकिन कांग्रेस सुधरने को तैयार नहीं है। कांग्रेस को लगता है कि यही उसके फायदे का रास्ता है, यही उसके फायदे का सरल रास्ता है। आज एक बार फिर काँग्रेस कुर्सी के लिए छटपटा रही है, भांति-भांति के लिए खेल-खेल रही है। देश के कोटि-कोटि नागरिकों की आंखों में धूल झोंककर आपके भविष्य को बर्बाद करने पर तुली हुई है। ये लोग फिर से धार्मिक तुष्टीकरण को मोहरा बना रहे हैं।

कर्नाटक में कांग्रेस सरकार का राज है और उन्होंने क्या पाप किया है? आप हैरान हो जाओगे। मुझे बताइए कि आपके गांव में कोई आकर के कोई कह दे कि भाई इस गांव में सारे लोग अब ये नहीं, ये हो गए हैं। तो आपको मंजूर होगा क्या? कांग्रेस सरकार ने कर्नाटक में जितने भी मुस्लिम समाज के लोग है, उच्च वर्ग के होंगे, धनी होंगे, व्यापारी होंगे, उद्योगपति होंगे, न्यायमूर्ति होंगे, कोई भी होंगे, बस सिर्फ वो मुसलमान होना चाहिए। अगर वो मुसलमान है तो उन्होंने रातों-रात एक कागज निकालकर हस्ताक्षर कर के उन सबको ओबीसी घोषित कर दिया। अब ओबीसी घोषित कर दिया तो बहुत बड़ा तूफान हो गया। यानि वहां कांग्रेस ने शिक्षा और सरकारी नौकरी में पहले जिन ओबीसी वर्गों को आरक्षण मिलता था। उस ओबीसी समाज में इतने सारे नए डाल दिए कि ओबीसी समाज को जो आरक्षण मिलता था, वो उनसे छीन लिया, चोरी-छीपे से छीन लिया। जिन मुसलमानों को नया ओबीसी बना दिया था, गैरकानूनी तरीके से बना दिया था। संविधान के विपरीत बना दिया था। बाबासाहेब अम्बेडकर की भावना के विरुद्ध बना दिया था। उस मुस्लिम समाज को, ओबीसी को जो मिलता था वो लूटकर के उनको दे दिया। आप सबको मालूम है कि जब देश का संविधान बना तो महीनों तक माथापच्ची हुई, चर्चाएं हुईं, देश के गणमान्य लोगों ने इस पर चर्चा की। बाबासाहेब अम्बेडकर ने इन चर्चाओं के आधार पर संविधान को लिखा। और सबने सोच-समझकर तय किया कि देश की एकता और अखंडता के लिए देश का संविधान किसी भी सूरत में धर्म के आधार पर आरक्षण नहीं देगा। बाबासाहेब अंबेडकर ने कहा कि धर्म के आधार पर आरक्षण नहीं दिया जा सकता है। और इसलिए कांग्रेस ने ये धोखेबाज़ी की, पिछले दरवाजे से किया। खुद बाबासाहेब अम्बेडकर की पीठ में छुरा भोंक दिया। लेकिन वोट बैंक और तुष्टिकरण में डूबी कांग्रेस कर्नाटक का यही मॉडल पूरे देश में लागू करना चाहती है।

साथियों, 

कांग्रेस दलितों, पिछड़ों और आदिवासियों का हक छीनने का षडयंत्र लंबे समय से कर रही है। 19 दिसंबर 2011 को, तबकी काँग्रेस की केंद्र सरकार धर्म के नाम पर आरक्षण देने का कैबिनेट नोट लेकर आई थी। इस कैबिनेट नोट में ये कहा गया था कि OBC समाज को जो 27 प्रतिशत आरक्षण मिलता है, मंडल कमीशन के अनुसार जो आरक्षण मिलता है। 27 परसेंट में से एक हिस्सा काटकर मजहब के नाम पर दिया जाएगा। सिर्फ दो दिन बाद, 22 दिसम्बर 2011 को इसका आदेश भी निकाल दिया गया। बाद में आंध्र प्रदेश के हाइकोर्ट ने काँग्रेस सरकार के इस आदेश को रद्द कर दिया। ये सुप्रीम कोर्ट गए, लेकिन राहत नहीं मिली। तब 2014 में कांग्रेस ने घोषणापत्र में लिखा कि धर्म के आधार पर आरक्षण देने के लिए कानून भी बनाना पड़े तो बनाएंगे। 2014 में ओबीसी और दलित समाज जग गया, आदिवासी समाज जग गया , तो उन्होंने तय किया कि अगर ये तो यह करेंगे तो हमारी आने वाली पीढ़ियां बर्बाद हो जाएंगी। हमारे सपने चूर चूर हो जाएंगे। उसके बाद इन समाजों ने एक होकर के कांग्रेस के सपनों को मिट्टी में मिला दिया, सत्ता से बाहर कर दिया, फिर भी सुधरने को तैयार नहीं हैं। अब वो अधुरा काम पूरा करने के लिए फिर से नई चाल चलने लगे हैं। कांग्रेस की चली तो यहां MP में जो हमारे कुशवाहा, गुर्जर, यादव, गड़रिया, धाकड़ प्रजापति समाज को जो आरक्षण मिलता है, यहां हमारे कुम्हार, तेली, मांझी, नाई, सुनार समाज को जो आरक्षण मिलता है, काँग्रेस इन सभी OBC जातियों से उनका हिस्सा छीनकर अपने चहेते वोट बैंक को मजबूत करने के लिए उनके चरणों में देने का मन बना कर बैठी है। आप मुरैना के लोग मुझे बताइए, आप ऐसा पाप होने देंगे। पूरी ताकत से बताइए, उनको डर लगे ऐसा करिए। क्या ऐसा होने देंगे क्या? औबीसी का हक छीनने वालों को पूरी तरह से साफ कर देंगे चुन- चुन कर साफ कर देंगे। हर पोलिंग बूथ में साफ कर देंगें।  

भाजपा, सबका साथ-सबका विकास के मंत्र पर चलने वाली पार्टी है। भाजपा सरकार अगर जरुतमंदों को कोविंड के समय अगर राशन की जरूरत है तो कोई भेदभाव नहीं। ना जाती का भंदभाव, ना धर्म का भेदभाव, जरूरतमंद 80 करोड़ लोगों को मुफ्त राशन मिलता रहा है, क्या आपने कभी शिकायत सुनी है। क्या आपने सुना है कि हमारे गांव में वो मुसलमान भाई है. उसको मिलता नहीं है, सुना है!  

भाइयों-बहनों

भाजपा सरकार ने 4 करोड़ गरीबों को पक्के मकान दिये हैं। ये घर बिना भेदभाव, हर धर्म के लोगों को मिले हैं। क्या किसी गांव में शिकायत सुनी है क्या कि धर्म के आधार पर मकान नहीं मिला ऐसा सुना है क्या। यहां भाजपा सरकार है कि नहीं है, दिल्ली में भाजपा सरकार है कि नहीं है, कोई भेदभाव की खबर सुनी है क्या। भाजपा सरकार ने 11 करोड़ घरों तक पानी का कनेक्शन पहुंचाया है। कोई जातिवाद नहीं होने दिया, कोई धर्म के नाम पर भेदभाव नहीं होने दिया। क्योंकि सबका साथ सबका विकास ये हमारा मंत्र है। हर धर्म को हर समाज को ये लाभ समान रूप से मिलना चाहिए। समान रूप से मिलना चाहिए कि नहीं मिलाना चाहिए, अगर सबको समान रूप से मिलता है तो आपकी कोई शिकायत होती है क्या। लेकिन, अगर काँग्रेस आती तो ये सारी सुविधाएं दलितों, पिछड़ों, आदिवासियों और सामान्य वर्ग के गरीबों को नहीं मिलतीं। कांग्रेस की चले तो वो गरीब कल्याण की योजनाओं का लाभ भी धर्म के आधार पर देती। क्योंकि कांग्रेस तो डंके की चोट पर यही कहती है कि देश के संसाधनों पर पहला हक मुसलमानों का है। मोदी कहता है कि देश के संसाधनों पर पहला हक इस देश के गरीबों का है, पिछड़ों का है, इस देश के आदिवासियों का है। 

काँग्रेस, एक के बाद एक ऐसी घोषणाएं कर रही है, जो देश को भी कमजोर करेगी और आपके परिवार को भी कमजोर करेगी। आपने सुना होगा, इन दिनों कांग्रेस के शहजादे आजकल वो जरा चिंतित हैं। आए दिन उनको मोदी के अपमान में मजा आता है। मोदी के लिए भला-बुरा कहना उनको मजा आ रहा है, कुछ भी बोलते जा रहे हैं, और मैं देख रहा हूं, सोशल मीडिया टीवी पर कई लोग चिंता जताते हैं कि ये भाषा अच्छी नहीं है , ऐसी भाषा देश के प्रधानमंत्री के लिए बोलना ठीक नहीं है। ऐसा लोग सोशल मीडिया में कहते हैं, कुछ लोग बहुत दुखी हो जाते हैं कि मोदी जी को ऐसा क्यों बोला। देश के प्रधानमंत्री के खिलाफ ऐसी भाषा का प्रयोग क्यों किया, देश के प्रधानमंत्री को कोई ऐसा बोलता है क्या। मेरी सबसे विनती है की कृपा करके आप दुखी मत होईए, गुस्सा मत कीजिए। आपको पता है वे नामदार हैं, हम तो कामदार हैं। नामदार तो कामदार को सदियों से ऐसे गाली-गलौज करते हुए आए हुए हैं। ऐसे ठोकर मारते हुए आए हुए हैं। भाई मैं तो आपमें से आता हूं। गरीबी से निकला हूं। 5-50 गालियां पड़ जाएंगी तो पड़ जाएंगी। आप गुस्सा मत होईए, मैं सबको कहता हूं कि आप लोग नाराजगी मत व्यक्त कीजिए। वे इतने निराश हैं कि आगे-आगे अभी बहुत कुछ बोलेंगे आप आपना समय खराब मत कीजिए। सोशल मीडिया और टीवी पर बहुत लोग नाराजगी से बहुत कुछ कहते रहते हैं। उनसे मेरी करबद्ध प्रार्थना की है कि इन नामदारों को कुछ मत कहो, हम कामदार सहन करने के लिए पैदा हुए हैं। हम सहन भी करेंगे और मां भारती की सेवा भी करेंगे, हम जरा भी पीछे नहीं हटेंगे दोस्तों जरा भी रूकेंगे नहीं। ये मैं देशवासियों को विश्वास दिलाता हूं। इस शाही परिवार के शहजादे पूरे देश में बढ़ चढ़के कह रहे हैं कि आप की संपत्ति का एक्स रे होगा, एक्स रे। और आपकी अलमारी में क्या पड़ा है। किसी माता बहन ने कुछ बचत अनाज के डिब्बे में दबा करके रखी है। एक्स रे करके खोजा जाएगा। लॉकर में क्या पड़ा है, एक्स रे करके खोजा जाएगा।  आप जो कमाई करते हैं, हमारी माताओं बहनों के पास जो स्त्री धन होता है। जो बहुत पवित्र होता है, कोई हाथ नहीं लगाता है। कोई उसको छूता नहीं है। मंगलसूत्र हो, छोटा मोटा गहना हो, इसे पवित्र माना जाता है। कांग्रेस उसे जब्त करके अपनी वोट बैंक मजबूत करने के लिए उस बांटने की सार्वजनिक घोषणा कर रही है । मेनिफेस्टो में बता रही है। और मैंने तो पहले दिन ही कहा था कि इनका मेनिफेस्टो पूरी तरह मुस्लिम लीग की सोच का ही प्रतिबिम्ब है।    

ये एक्स रे करके आपको लूटने की योजना बना रहे हैं। क्या आप उनको अपनी संपत्ति छीनने का अधिकार देंगे क्या। इनको चुनाव में जीतने देंगे क्या। इतना ही नहीं ये इससे भी संतुष्ट नहीं है। वो जीते जी तो छोड़िए, स्वर्गवास के बाद भी ,मृत्यु के बाद भी आपकी जो बची हुई संपत्ति है, जो स्वाभाविक रूप से आपके बेटे-बेटी को मिलनी चाहिए। वो भी आप नहीं दे पाओगे। आप कितनी ही मेहनत करके इकट्ठा किया होगा। कांग्रेस वाले कहते हैं कि उनकी सरकार आएगी तो वो भी डिब्बे में से गुल कर दिया जाएगा। ऑफिसियली कहते हैं आपकी कमाई का आधे से ज्यादा काँग्रेस अगर सरकार में आती है, तो ये सरकार छीन लेगी। इसके लिए कांग्रेस आप पर इनहेरिटेंस टैक्स-आपकी विरासत पर टैक्स लगाना चाहती है।

ये इनहेरिटेंस टैक्स से जुड़े जो तथ्य अब निकलकर सामने आ रहे हैं, वो देश की आंखे खोलने वाले हैं। जरा ध्यान से सुना जाए, आप भी ध्यान से सुन लें, देश के दिग्गज पत्रकार भी सुन लें , मीडिया वाले भी सुन लें। और उनकी इको सिस्टम है ना, जो हर रोज मोदी की बाल की खाल उतारने में लगी ही है। वो भी सुन ले जरा कान खोल कर देश के साथ कैसा कैसा पाप हुआ है। एक और दिलचस्प तथ्य मैं देश को बताना चाहता हूं। जब देश की एक प्रधानमंत्री बहन इंदिरा जी नहीं रहीं, तो उनकी प्रॉपर्टी थी, वो उनकी संतानों को मिलनी थी। लेकिन पहले ऐसा ऐसा कानून था कि उनको मिलने से पहले एक हिस्सा सरकार ले लेती। कांग्रेस ने पहले ऐसा कानून बनाया था। तब चर्चा थी और व्यापक रूप से चर्चा थी कि जब इंदिरा जी नहीं रहीं और उनके बेटे राजीव गांधी जी को ये प्रॉपर्टी मिलने की थी, लिख करके गई थी, तो सरकार का पैसा चला ना जाए, प्रॉपर्टी को बचाना था। तो इन्होंने उस प्रॉप्रर्टी को बचाने के लिए उस समय के प्रधानमंत्री राजीव गांधी ने पहले जो इनहेरिटेंस कानून था उसको समाप्त किया और खुद के पैसे बचा लिए। अपने पर बात आई तो कानून हटा दिया। और अब वहां मामला निपट गया तो आज फिर सत्ता पाने के लालच में ये लोग वही कानून ज्यादा कड़ाई से वापस लाना चाहते हैं। बिना टैक्स के अपने परिवार की 4-4 पीढ़ियों की अकूत धन-दौलत हासिल करने के बाद अब ये लोग आप जैसे सामान्य मानवी की विरासत, आपकी मेहनत की कमाई उस पर टैक्स लगा करके आधी संपत्ति लूटना चाहते हैं। इसलिए ही तो देश कह रहा है-कांग्रेस की लूट- जिंदगी के साथ भी और जिंदगी के बाद भी।

आपके साथ खिलवाड़ करने के उनके जो इरादे हैं। और काँग्रेस के इन खतरनाक इरादों के बीच आपके हकों की रक्षा के लिए मोदी दीवार बनकर खड़ा है। ये गाली गलौच इसलिए हो रहा है कि मोदी 56 इंच का सीना तान करके खड़ा हो गया है। इनके मंसूबे सफल नहीं होंगे- ये मोदी की गारंटी है।

लेकिन इसमें आपकी भी बड़ी भूमिका है। मुरैना से संगठन में जिन्होंने हमारे साथ वर्षों काम किया। जब मैं संगठन महासचिव होता था तो हमारे शिवमंगल जी यहां महासचिव हुआ करते थे। मुरैना से हमारे शिवमंगल सिंह जी तोमर, भिंड से हमारी बहन संध्या राय जी, और ग्वालियर से भरत सिंह कुशवाहा जी, 7 मई को इनको जितनी ज्यादा संख्या में वोट मिलेंगे, मोदी उतना ही मजबूत होगा। आपका एक-एक वोट मोदी को जाएगा। कमल पर आप बटन दबाएंगे आपका वोट सीधा-सीधा मोदी को जाएगा और इसलिए मोदी आपसे आशीर्वाद मांगने आया है, मोदी आपसे कमल के निशान पर बटन दबाने की प्रार्थना करने के लिए आया है। इसलिए आप घर घर जाएंगे। मतदान करवाएंगे। हमारे साथियों को जिताएंगे। पोलिंग बूथ जीतेंगे , पक्का करेंगे। अच्छा मेरा एक काम करोगे, मेरा आपसे अनुरोध है कि मोदी जी आए थे और मोदी जी ने आपको प्रणाम कहा है, मेरा प्रणाम पहुंचा दोगे। 

बोलिए 

भारत माता की जय।

PM Modi to dedicate projects worth ₹ 19600 Cr in Odisha on March 5

Prime minister narendra modi’s visit to odisha comes amid swirling rumours of a possible electoral alliance between the bharatiya janata party and the biju janata dal.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate and lay the foundation stone of multiple development projects worth over ₹ 19,600 crore at Chandikhole in Odisha on March 5, amid swirling rumours of a possible electoral alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Biju Janata Dal (BJD).

Official familiar with the matter said PM Modi will arrive in Bhubaneswar in a special plane of Indian Air Force from Telangana in the afternoon and then proceed to Chandikhol in Jajpur district in a helicopter and lay foundation stones and inaugurate various projects related to oil and gas, railways, road, transport and highways and atomic energy sectors.

His Odisha visit coincides with the birth anniversary of former chief minister Biju Patnaik. It also comes amid the intensified demand of the BJD to award Bharat Ratna to Biju Patnaik. Many believe that a Bharat Ratna to Biju Patnaik would bring Modi and Naveen closer to paving the way for a possible electoral tie-up before the polls.

After arriving in Odisha, the PM will inaugurate Indian Oil Corporation’s mono ethylene glycol project at Paradip Refinery which will further help in reducing India’s import dependency. Mono ethyle glycol is used in manufacture of polyester resins, films, fibers, antifreezes, coolants, aircraft anti-icer and deicers and solvents.

He will also inaugurate 344-km-long product pipeline traversing from Paradip in Odisha to Haldia in West Bengal. Modi will also inaugurate 0.6 million metric tonnes per annum LPG Import facility at Paradip, aimed at augmenting the import infrastructure on India’s east coast.

The Prime Minister will also dedicate to the nation four laning of Singhara to Binjabahal Section of NH-49; four laning of Binjabahal to Tileibani Section of NH-49; four laning of Balasore-Jharpokharia Section of NH-18 and four laning of Tangi-Bhubaneswar Section of NH-16.

He will also lay the foundation stone for eight laning of Chandikhole-Paradip Section and dedicate 162-km Bansapani-Daitari-Tomka-Jakhapura rail line in not just enhancing the existing traffic facility’s capacity but also facilitating efficient transportation of iron and manganese ore from Keonjhar District to the nearest ports and steel plants.

The projects to be inaugurated in railway sector also include CONCOR Container Depot at Kalinga Nagar, which would boost domestic and international trade. Modi will also lay foundation stone of Electric Loco Periodical Overhauling Workshop at Narla, the Wagon Periodical Overhauling Workshop at Kantabanji and upgradation and augmentation of maintenance facilities at Baghuapal.

Other railway projects, including flagging off the first passenger train on Paradip-Haridaspur section would also be taken up.

The Prime Minister will also inaugurate 5 MLD capacity seawater desalination plant at Odisha Sands Complex of IREL(I) Ltd. This project has been built as a part of field applications of indigenous desalination technologies developed by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.

After the official functions, PM Modi would address a public meeting at Chandikhol. This will be Modi’s second tour to Odisha in a month. During his visit to Sambalpur on February 3, he had inaugurated and laid foundation stones for projects worth more than ₹ 68,000 crore.

Odisha: BJP Leaders, Workers Look to PM Modi’s March 5 Visit for Clarity on Party’s 2024 Mission

Bhubaneswar : All eyes are Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Odisha visit in the first week of March when he will address a public rally at Chandikhol in Jajpur district, apart from participating in some government programmes.

BJP's co-in-charge for Odisha, Lata Usendi on Thursday informed that the PM will visit the state on March 5.

The BJP state leaders and workers believe that the PM would clear the air about the party’s Odisha mission with regard to the forthcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.

As per sources, the PM is likely to address a public meeting in Jajpur's Chandikhol and lay the foundation stone of several developmental projects. However, the programme schedule is yet to be finalised.

Earlier on February 3, the Prime Minister visited Odisha. He had then inaugurated, dedicated to the nation and laid the foundation stone of multiple infrastructure projects worth more than Rs 68,000 crore during a public programme in Sambalpur.

Though the PM had then addressed a public meeting at Sambalpur, he has not spelt out a single word against the Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal (BJD), the key rival of the BJP in the state.

The BJD has been in power in Odisha since 2000. The mysterious silence of the PM Modi and home minister Amit Shah on Odisha affairs has given rise to the speculation in political circles about a possible alliance with the BJD.

Though the BJD and BJP fight bitter political wars during the elections, they surprisingly stand by each other after the polls. The BJD has been extending crucial support to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) both inside and outside the Parliament at the time of necessity.

Though Odisha witnessed a mega mining scam and irregularities by chit fund firms, the BJP has not been very vocal on these issues. The BJP’s soft stand on Odisha scams, as political analysts maintain, is a political strategy to keep the BJD on tenterhooks.

During his last visit, the PM had inaugurated the permanent IIM Sambalpur campus in the presence of Odisha Governor Raghubar Das, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik; Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Ashwini Vaishnaw and other BJP leaders.

He also flagged off Puri-Sonepur-Puri Weekly Express, improving connectivity for the rail passengers in the region.

Narendra Modi in Odisha: PM visits Lingaraj temple in Bhubaneswar, meets families of freedom fighters

The Odisha Assembly elections are two years away, but the BJP has began its preparations to bloom the lotus in the state in right earnest.

Replete with photo-ops and crowd wooing measures, the BJP big shots descended in Odisha on Saturday, fixing the spotlight on the eastern coast of the country.

The latest in series of such attempts to reach out to the people in Odisha was the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the famous 11th century Lingaraj Temple in Odisha. Adhering to the previously planned schedule, the prime minister reached the temple sharp at 9 am to offer his prayers and participate in a special Puja Arati . He offered flowers, bel leaves, milk, coconut water and water to the deity.

The Prime Minister spent around 25 minutes in the temple premises.

Modi also visited the temple of Goddess Bhubaneswari and Parbati, said Manoranjan Panigrahy, CEO of the Lingaraj Temple Administration.

“The Prime Minister was so enthusiastic to know about Lingaraj temple. He prayed for the welfare of the nation and ‘Swachh Bharat’,” said chief priest of the temple.

The ‘seveyats’ or temple priests did not miss a chance to take selfies with the Prime Minister.

The 54-metre high temple is spread over a 25,000 sq.ft area and has over 150 small and big subsidiary temples in its premises.

According to the ground reports by CNN-News 18  Modi’s visit to the temple pleasantly surprised scores of devotees, as they fished out their mobile phones to click a picture of Modi. The prime minister also waved and smiled at his supporters.

According to  The Times of India , special arrangements had been made at the temple for Modi’s visit but special instructions were given not to close the temple to general public at any time because of the VVIP’s visit.

“Of course security has been tightened in and around the temple premises but we have not been instructed to stop or prevent any devotee from entering the temple during the PM’s visit. Modi will offer flowers, bel leaves, milk, coconut water and water to Lord Lingaraj on the occasion,” the news article quoted temple administration as saying.

Before he headed to the temple, the prime minister also met the families of freeodom fighters who were part of the Paika rebellion against the British East India Company in 1817, according to News18 .  He felicitated them at the Raj Bhawan.

Modi arrived here on Saturday to attend the two-day BJP National Executive meeting that began later in the day. He also held a roadshow ahead of the meet.

The prime minister will address the concluding session on Sunday.

Later in the day, Modi will head to Surat and hold a road show in the BJP bastion and his native state, Gujarat. The prime minister will also interact with people during his two-day visit to his home state.

PM Narendra Modi To Visit Odisha In February First Week, State BJP Chief Confirms

Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Odisha on February 3 to inaugurate the permanent campus of Indian Institute of Management, Sambalpur ((IIM-S) at Basantpur on the outskirts the city, state BJP president Manmohan Samal informed on Thursday.

The PMO, however, is yet to confirm the date and details of this official tour.

PM Modi was supposed to visit the IIM-S campus in December last year, but it was deferred due to his prior engagements. He had laid the foundation day of the campus, developed over an area of 200 acres at Rs 401 crore, through virtual mode on January 2, 2021.

The party sources said that the PM may also address a rally in Sambalpur and sound the poll bugle during his visit. This assumes significance amid speculation that Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan might contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Sambalpur. Western Odisha is considered a BJP bastion and PM’s visit to the region is likely to have a positive impact on neighbouring Parliamentary constituencies of Bargarh, Balangir, Kalahandi and Sundargarh, which are being represented by its MPs.

Keeping an eye on the upcoming polls, PM Modi is likely to visit all the major states at least once before February 5. The tour began with visit to southern states – Tamil Nadu, Lakshadweep and Kerala – and Rajasthan in first week of January. He then visited Gujarat, Maharashtra and Jharkhand.

According to reports, Modi will make two visits to large states while he would visit a few of the smaller states once.

Poll race heats up: Modi, Shah, Nadda to visit Odisha soon

BHUBANESWAR: As the BJP gets set for the 2024 poll race, and Odisha is seen as a prime turf, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and party national president JP Nadda are likely to visit the state in quick succession from this month. Prime Minister Modi is likely to visit Sambalpur on December 24 to inaugurate the permanent campus of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM).

Informing media persons, Opposition chief whip in Assembly Mohan Charan Majhi said the prime minister is scheduled to visit western Odisha on an official programme by the end of this month. He is likely to address a public meeting during his visit, Majhi said.

The director, of IIM Sambalpur, Mahadeo Jaiswal has also told the media that the institute has received an intimation in this regard from the prime minister’s office (PMO), but an official confirmation is still awaited. Meanwhile, a team of IIM officials and Rengali MLA Nauri Nayak have visited the spot where the prime minister will address a public meeting.

The permanent campus of IIM-Sambalpur is located at Basantpur, on the outskirts of Sambalpur. Modi laid the foundation stone of the permanent campus of the premier institute in 2021 through virtual mode from New Delhi. The new campus has been built over an area of 200 acres with an expenditure of more than Rs 400 crore.

The prime minister had last come on an official visit to the state in 2021 to take stock of the Yaas cyclone aftermath. He had also visited the Bahanaga train accident site in Balasore district earlier this year to review the rescue operations.

Modi’s proposed visit to Sambalpur is politically significant as the western Odisha region has been a traditional bastion of the saffron party. With the ruling BJD aggressively focusing on the western districts to make inroads in the 2024 simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly polls, Modi’s visit is seen as a bid to fortify the strongholds.

Majhi further said that Amit Shah and JP Nadda will also visit the state after the Prime Minister. While Shah is likely to visit sometime in the last week of December, Nadda may follow in January next year. However, the dates and places of their visit have not yet been finalised, he said.

“The proposed visits of the three topmost leaders of BJP ahead of the next general election will boost the morale of the party workers and add energy to the organisation,” Majhi said.Meanwhile, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is also coming on two-day visit to the state on December 19 to attend the programme of Akhil Bharatiya Sahitya Parishad in Bhubaneswar on December 20.

Modi promises get a Naveen Patnaik twist as Odisha CM prepares for toughest battle yet

T aking a leaf out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Vision 2047’ pitch, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik Wednesday vowed to make Odisha a “developed state” by 2036 as he launched his campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly polls from his home turf, Hinjili.

Patnaik, who is seeking a record sixth straight term for the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), said, “When the state completes 100 years of its formation by 2036, it will be number one in the country.”

To counter the BJP’s “double engine” narrative of the same government in the Centre and state, Patnaik appealed to voters to bless “Jodi Sankha” (double conch) -- one for the Lok Sabha and another for the assembly polls. Conch is the BJD’s poll symbol.

Patnaik’s pitch to win maximum Lok Sabha seats is significant given the BJP’s rise in Odisha in the past 10 years. In 2019, the BJP increased its Lok Sabha tally to eight from just one seat in 2014, while the BJD’s number reduced from 20 to just 12 seats. The state has 21 Lok Sabha seats.

“BJP is expected to give a tough fight to BJD in almost all Lok Sabha seats. Many constituencies saw split voting in 2019 as voters chose BJP for Lok Sabha and BJD in the Assembly. But if BJP’s Lok Sabha voting trend reflects in assembly polls, BJD will be in trouble,” said a senior party leader.

Also, BJD has always been able to “bargain” in New Delhi because of its numbers in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the leader said, adding that the aim is to win at least three-fourth seats in the Assembly.

The top brass of the two parties had held multiple rounds of discussions over an alliance in the run-up to the polls, but the talks ultimately fell apart.

Patnaik’s home turf of Hinjili is part of the Aska Lok Sabha constituency, where he started his political journey following the death of his father Biju Patnaik in 1997. For the past two decades, it has been a BJD fortress, with Patnaik representing the seat since 2000.

Elections in Odisha will be held in four phases between May 13 and June 1, and Hinjili will go to polls on May 20.

Though he criticised the Opposition parties for trying to stall the state’s development, Patnaik refrained from mentioning any BJP central leader by name. According to party insiders, the BJD, which used to raise the issue of “central neglect” towards the state until 2019, seems to have put the issue to rest.

The BJP, meanwhile, upped the ante against the Patnaik government, releasing a “chargesheet” highlighting “failures of the BJD government” in the past 25 years. The party will also organise small meetings in villages to amplify this campaign.

The PM is to inaugurate a permanent campus of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Sambalpur at Basantpur locality on the outskirts of the city. He was supposed to visit the IIM in December 2023.

Worth mentioning, the PM previously laid the foundation stone of the campus on January 2, 2021. The permanent campus has been built over an area of around 200 acres at a cost of over Rs 400 crore.

The PM will likely hold a public meeting in Sambalpur in view of the upcoming General Elections 2024. Proposed visit of the PM to Sambalpur district assumes significance as western Odisha is considered as the bastion of the BJP. Five of the eight Lok Sabha members of the party are from western Odisha.

Speculations are rife that Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will be fielded by BJP from the Sambalpur Lok Sabha seat presently represented by Nitesh Gang Deb, a political analyst said.
