BHUBANESWAR:
Following the statement of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at the 57th National
Development Council (NDC) meeting in New
Delhi for reviewing of its recently adopted direct
cash transfer scheme (DCTS), the Pradesh Congress Committee on Friday
criticised the BJD Government for not accepting the scheme.
PCC president Niranjan Patnaik
said the BJD Government is opposing the scheme fearing that the scheme would
prove the false claim of the Chief Minister’s 2-a-kg rice campaign during last
12 years. “The rulling party will be exposed, if the Central Government
implements the scheme,” PCC president added.
Patnaik said that the time of
BJD’s so called claim of step-motherly attitude against the Central Government
would be gradually vanished as most of the schemes are controlled by the
Centre. The Naveen Government is taking advantages of centrally sponsored
schemes in its name, he added.
It may be noted that the Chief
Minister on Thursday urged the UPA Government to review its recently adopted
DCTS. In the meeting, BJD supremo suggested that the objective of the food and
nutrition security can be more effectively addressed at present by bringing
improvements in the public distribution system (PDS) and in other cases, by
improving the banking infrastructure first, an official release said.
