Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) of being detached from the people's problems and the reality on the ground in Odisha. He was confident that Odisha would vote heavily for the BJP in both the Assembly and Lok Sabha Elections 2024.


After a roadshow in Bhubaneswar on Friday, PM Modi emphasised the BJP government's efforts to improve the education sector in Odisha. During his tenure, he stated the dedication of the National Institute of Science Education and Research as well as the establishment of the IIT-Bhubaneswar Campus.


"While our Government has done extensive work, BJD is totally detached from the ground realities and is oblivious to people's grievances. They have totally misunderstood the great culture and ethos of Odisha. No wonder Bhubaneswar and Odisha will support the BJP in record numbers," PM Modi said in a series of posts on X.


"Our Government has also worked to improve the education sector in Odisha and Bhubaneswar. It was in our tenure that the National Institute of Science Education and Research was dedicated to the nation. IIT-Bhubaneswar also got its campus, thus ensuring that the institution is able to cater to the needs of students and become a hub for innovation," he said in the post.

"Over the last decade, our Government has got the opportunity to improve the quality of life for the people of Bhubaneswar. Various road projects have improved connectivity, including the 4-laning of Tangi-Bhubaneswar section of NH-16. Highway projects are underway, which will improve the connectivity between western and eastern Odisha," he added.

PM Modi also emphasised the government's infrastructure development projects, like as the four-lane NH-16 route between Tangi and Bhubaneswar. He noted current highway developments to improve connectivity between western and eastern Odisha.

PM Modi also emphasised the benefits of multiple Vande Bharat trains, which improve connection between Bhubaneswar, Rourkela, and Puri. He expressed gratitude for the wonderful welcome he received during his roadshow in Bhubaneswar, particularly on the auspicious festival of Akshaya Tritiya.

"It's a matter of great joy to have taken the blessings of the people of Odisha during the spectacular roadshow in Bhubaneswar this evening. Making it more special is the fact that today is Akshaya Tritiya, which is a major festival in Odisha. Our Government will keep working for the wellbeing of Odisha and the Odia people," the PM said on X.

The Odisha Assembly and Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be contested in four phases from May 13 to June 1, with vote counting on June 4. In past elections, the BJD earned a considerable number of seats, but PM Modi voiced confidence in BJP's growing support in the state.
