Promising to restore the position of reputation of “Shri Ratna Bhandar” Give me five years of time, not more than that, just five years, I will make your state number one.”
“Odisha has vast opportunities for the tourism sector to flourish. And, the tourism sector usually has a spillover effect on the overall economy of the region. Your state government is not willing to trust your capabilities, due to which your development remains stunted. This election holds immense significance for the people of Odisha”, he said.
