Bhubaneswar: Senior BJP leader and Lok Sabha member from Bhubaneswar Aparajita Sarangi raised voice against the State Government’s 5T (Teamwork, Transparency and Technology leading to Transformation in Time-bound manner) initiative again here on Thursday.  

Sarangi, a voluntarily-retired bureaucrat, said there should not be a special department for 5T because it (5T) is not a new concept. “Due to 5T, powers of Ministers and Secretaries are shrinking,” said the MP.

Notably, Sarangi has many times ridiculed the Government for its claim of introducing 5T initiative terming it as a ‘scheme’ to implement Government schemes.
