BHUBANESWAR: “To make the State free from all types of
corruption and make it a well-developed State in the country, green politics is
the need of the hour,” said Odisha Jan Rajniti Abhiyan (OJRA) convener and
social activist Prafulla Samantara while addressing the mass at the first State
convention of the campaign here on Friday.
To give a political alternative
to the State, a group of likeminded political forces and persons of three different
social organisations have come together to form a political front, OJRA, a
campaign for people-friendly politics, which would address various issues of
the common people.
While presenting the agenda of
the OJRA, Samantara said that their campaign would focus on corruption-free
politics, exploitation-free economy, pollution-free environment and equality in
society. The campaign would make aware the common people of the State to elect
a good candidate of a right political party which could address the issues of
the commonmen, he added.
The OJRA leaders including Odisha
Jana Sammilani advisor Rabi Das and Jan Andolan leader Lingaraj said that they
would bring all organisations, which are fighting for common men’s rights
through people’s movements, under one umbrella and make a strong political
front based on values. The State Government has failed to solve the problems of
farmers and tribals, they added.
The leaders said corruption,
oppression and irregularities in development projects are increasing day by day
in the State. Looting of land, water, mines and forest has been increased since
1991, they added. Among others, Braja Kishore Tripathy, Panchanan Kanungo,
Kishore Das, Prashant Mishra and Surendra Pradhan were present.
