BJP has failed to fulfill several electoral promises: Naveen Patnaik

Puri, June 18 (UNI) Biju Janata Dal (BJD) President and former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today strongly criticised the BJP government in Odisha, accusing it of failing to fulfil many of its electoral promises.
Launching the Jana Jagaran Yatra virtually at a gathering of hundreds of BJD youth and student leaders held at the Swaminarayan Temple premises, Patnaik said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has done "precious little" to honor the commitments it made to the people before the elections.
He alleged that the BJP government has merely renamed various BJD-initiated projects and halted several key welfare schemes, such as the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana (BSKY), only to rebrand them under different names.
