Union Human Resources Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar on Tuesday said the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government in Odisha is appropriating all central schemes and presenting them as state schemes.

"There is discrimination even in the administration of universal beneficiary schemes. Those who are from BJD are selected and others are not selected for beneficiary schemes. Besides, the BJD government is appropriating all central schemes and presenting them as state schemes," Javadekar told reporters at Berhampur in Ganjam district.
