Counter Oppn misinformation campaign, says Naveen

Bhubaneswar: Biju Janata Dal president and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday called on the party workers to counter the misinformation campaign by the Opposition political parties against the State government.

“The transformation of Odisha has come as a big shock for Opposition parties and they do not have any issue to raise against the State government,'' Naveen said while presiding over the BJD's 80-member State executive meeting here at 'Sankha Bhavan', the regional party's State headquarters here.

''They therefore take shelter of lies and launch misinformation campaign against the BJD government. We have to effectively counter them from the grassroots level,” he said.

Naveen, who has been the president of the regional party since its inception, urged the party rank and file to take the message of development to each household across Odisha.
