Law and order deteriorates in State: Pyarimohan

-- OJM holds worker’s meet at Jeypore

BHUBANESWAR: “Law and order situation is deteriorating in the State and especially violence against women is increasing alarmingly day by day,” said Odisha Jan Morcha (OJM) chief Pyarimohan Mohaptra while addressing Morcha workers at Jeypore in Koraput district on Friday.

Mohapatra said Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has become too arrogant to pay heed to the problems of party workers and people of the State. Incident like Rayagada Gang-rape is increasing in the State, which clearly shows the helplessness of the Naveen Government, he added.

OJM chief said that his political party would be launched in next two months. Within four months, he said, at least three lakh people had joined OJM the figure was expected to touch 20 lakh by May. “If we will come to the power, unemployment will go in five years,” he promised.

Mohapatra said that they would not organise Samabesh anymore, but hold workers’ meet by visiting various assembly constituencies in the State. “We target at least 5,000 members in each assembly constituency,” he added.

The bureaucrat-turned-politician again made allegation against the Biju Janata Dal president for creating obstacles in their way to organise their workers’ meet successfully.

He recollected the memories of his posting in Koraput in the early eighties and claimed that he had suggested many proposals for the development of the region, but that could not be materialise due to lack of interest of the then Government. 

Workers from Koraput, Malkangiri, Rayagada and Nabarangapur districts attended the meeting.
