--Odisha to witness more pull-out
in future
BHUBANESWAR: The scrapping of the
plan of setting up of Rs 50,000 crore steel plant in the State by the Arcelor
Mittal exposed a total policy failure of the Naveen Government, alleged State
BJP spokesperson Sajjan Sharma. It is a major setback for the State at a time
when there is need of such investments. The news has brought humiliation to the
State in the national arena, added Sharma.
Over the last seven years the
company had invested considerable resources into the project. However, the
Government failed to allot land and captive iron ore blocks. Lack of
seriousness and callous attitude resulted delay relating to land acquisition
and allocation of captive iron ore blocks to the company forced it to pull out
which is unfortunate for the State, said the BJP leader.
“In future, we will witness more
companies scrapping their project from the State. The Government has failed in
all departments. Careless and autocratic rule of BJD have proved fatal for our
economy,” said Sharma. Besides, no company would further plan to invest in the
State on the pretext of the recent pull out. No company will find the State a
viable place to invest, added Sharma.
The fate of Posco project of Rs
52,000 crore is already in lurch. Naveen Government is not able to meet the
demand of the people, said Sharma.
He advised the Government to wake
up now from its fairy tale and accept the truth of its failure in running the
State. Naveen must learn the lesson of economic policy from Gujarat. The State
has already suffered a lot because of the scams that are coming out like onion
peels. It is an irony that the Government seems stronger only in words but not
in action, Sharma added.
