BHUBANESWAR: “MLAs of the ruling party and its associated Communist Party of India (CPI) are opposing the Posco Company overtly and covertly, for which the construction work could not be held at the site,” said president of Utkal Bharat Kharvel Swain in a Press meet on Saturday here.
Swain alleged that the anti-Posco activists lead by CPI leader Narayan Reddy had killed a worker Duryodhan Swain in the violent group-clash at the Posco site. But Government and other political leaders are depicting Bapi Sarkhel as demon while discussing in the State Assembly which is very ridiculous, he added.
He also alleged the Naveen Government is worthless in the matter of handling Posco issue as it failed to take appropriate action against the land mafias who are involved in encroachment of the Government land at Posco and disrupted the project work at the demarcated site.
“Sorry to say that 217 peoples from 52 families of Dhinkia, who are the supporters of Posco project, were thrown out from their village by the anti-Posco activists. They are living a miserable refugee life by getting allowance Rs 20 per day, whereas the Government has no capacity to rehabilitate in their village with proper security”, said Swain.
He demanded with other Dhinkia villagers present at the Press meet that the Government should clear its stand about the project at Dhinkia. If the Government is ready to start Posco work at Dhinkia, take severe action against the land mafias, law-brokers and their leaders otherwise declare Dhinkia is out of Posco project and rehabilitate the refugee families in their village with proper security.
