BJP govt’s 100 days: Fulfilled promises made in manifesto, says Odisha CM
Puri : Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi today said they have fulfilled the promises made in the election manifesto, as the Bharatiya Janata Patry (BJP)-led government completed 100 days in office.
“We have fulfilled the promises made in our manifesto and will continue to do so. We opened four doors of Puri Srimandir on the very first day of coming to power. In the coming days, grievance cells will be set up in each district and the problems of the people will be addressed,” said Majhi at a meeting in Puri.
Majhi and his cabinet colleagues presented the report card of the state government to the people in the pilgrim town.
Majhi, a tribal leader from Keonjhar district and a four-time MLA, took office on June 12, after the safron party defeated Naveen Patnaik’s BJD in the Assembly elections. The BJP secured 78 seats in the 147-member Assembly, while the BJD won 51, Congress 14, Independents 3, and one seat went to CPI(M).
“Prioritising health, education, social security and welfare of all sections of society, the first BJP government in Odisha in its first 100 days has touched new horizons in realising aspirations and fuelling prosperity,” said Deputy Chief Minister KV Singh Deo.
Odisha Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling said Ayushman Bharat and Gopabandhu Jan Arogya Yojana will be made available at 27000 hospitals.
During the previous government, the benefits of the health schemes were available at only 900 hospitals.
Mahaling said 3000 doctors and paramedical staff will be appointed soon.
