The BJP leader, in his post, also thanked the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government, led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, for supporting the Narendra Modi government at the Centre on all the issues of national importance.
Stressing that a "double-engine" government in the state will ensure accelerated growth for the state, he also invoked Odia pride while noting that his party has failed to agree with the ruling BJD over several matters related to the people of Odisha.
"We are feeling that development and welfare programmes for the poor are accelerated wherever a double engine government is present ruling in the country and such states are also growing in all sectors," Samal said.

✨"However, many welfare programmes of the Modi government are not reaching the poor people at the grassroots level, as a result of which, they aren’t reaping any benefit from it. We have not been able to agree with the state government on several matters concerning the dignity of Odia (Odia Asmita), the pride of Odisha and the self-interest of Odia people," he added.
