BHUBANESWAR: Beginning May 16, the BJD could be conserving a fortnight-long public awareness marketing campaign on the Mahanadi factor. Party president and leader minister Naveen Patnaik would flag off the marketing campaign - Mahanadi Suraksha Abhiyan (save Mahanadi marketing campaign) - from the river's access point to Odisha at Sukhasoda in Jharsuguda and Ambabhona in Bargarh district.
Announcing the plan at a information convention here on Wednesday, BJD vice-president and Rajya Sabha member Prasanna Acharya mentioned the marketing campaign will duvet more than 1595 km along the river banks in 15 districts touched by the Mahanadi and culminate in Paradip on May 30.
"As we have said earlier, Mahanadi has never been a political issue for the BJD. It's the issue of 4.5 crore Odia people. The river is the lifeline of the state. People from all walks of society - farmers, students, youths, women and fishermen - will be participating in the campaign," Acharya mentioned.
During the marketing campaign, the birthday party would prepare side road corner conferences, workshops, awareness campaigns, distribute leaflets and make audio-visual presentation on the Mahanadi in each and every gram panchayat, block, sub-division and district headquarters.
The birthday party MPs, MLAs and panchayat representatives were asked to spend nights in villages through which the marketing campaign passes thru. As lots of the BJD leaders have directly and indirectly admitted that Mahanadi could be a big poll plank forward of the 2019 election, the marketing campaign would duvet a minimum of 45 assembly segments in western, central and coastal districts.
"We will expose the conspiracy hatched by the NDA government at the Centre and BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh to convert Mahanadi into a dead river," BJD vice president Debi Prasad Mishra, who was also present at the information convention, mentioned.
Mishra mentioned the state government has already initiated the method to struggle the issue legally at the Mahanadi tribunal. "Since people from the state have elected us to protect the state's interest, we will also garner public support in the fight for Mahanadi," Mishra added.
The BJP, then again, slammed the BJD, accusing it of no longer showing sincerity in opposition to resolve the issue.
