Pandemonium gripped Bhubaneswar’s assembly hall as opposition forces stalled the Odisha budget session, drawing fierce backlash from BJP’s Tankadhar Tripathi. The vocal MLA branded the pandemonium ‘reprehensible’ and urged opposition leaders to publicly atone for derailing democratic processes.
Addressing concerns head-on, Tripathi stressed government’s willingness to engage on farmers’ grievances or formal motions. He lambasted rivals for prioritizing disruption over discourse, particularly during vital question periods—a tactic he views as anti-Odisha.
With budget day approaching, Tripathi invoked sacred deities for a visionary plan propelling the state to unprecedented peaks by its 2036 centennial. Projections indicate a heftier allocation, artfully balancing bold projects with sound finances, as championed by CM Majhi’s model governance.
Odisha’s fiscal prowess stands out nationally, enabling ambitious yet sustainable investments. Expect highlights in infrastructure boosts, agricultural reforms, and youth empowerment, all geared toward holistic advancement.
This clash reveals fault lines in state politics. As the budget looms, it remains to be seen if cooler heads prevail, allowing substantive policy wins to overshadow the spectacle.
