Does anyone feel the change, they claimed? A resounding No. This Government, has failed in all fronts, except in spreading false narratives and misusing public money,” said Patnaik.There is also a risk that these additional costs could eventually be passed on to consumers, further increasing the burden on households. We must ask for strong safeguards for the merchants and the public and more clarity on the MDR,” said Patnaik.Patnaik said, “Another important issue which concerns the general public, is the Special Intensive Revision. The deletion of a large number of genuine voters is a serious issue, against which we should fight tooth and nail.”“The BJP Government has failed to deliver. As the principal Opposition, it’s our duty to expose this and educate our people about the dismal performance of the double-engine sarkar,” Patnaik told BJD MLAs
