Summary:
People of Odisha would give a befitting reply to the BJP for this false promise, said Das Burma. The allegations leveled by the BJP leaders over the project are baseless. Pradhan also criticized the state works secretary accusing him of getting busy in political works.It took months for the state government to review the alignment plan and give suggestions for modification plan. It will provide connectivity to 178 villages in Ganjam, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, Bhadrak and Balasore.The issue has furthered fueled political tug of war between the BJD and BJP as Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan criticized chief minister Naveen Patnaik of hindering the project intentionally. They should accept publicly if they are not interested on the project, the Union told reporters in New Delhi.Hitting back at Pradhan at a news conference here, BJD leader Sanjay Das Burma said the Centres coastal highway plan is a betrayal for Odisha.The Union minister (referring to Pradhan) is more concerned about doing politics over it instead of trying for the project..
