Bhubaneswar, Sep 27: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday shared his personal experiences from his 27-year political career with district collectors.
Majhi urged the collectors to use their authority to address the challenges faced by the common people in the state.
“When I was a Sarpanch 27 years ago, people came to me with various grievances. Even after 24 years of BJD rule, these issues remain the same,” the Chief Minister said.
He emphasised the government’s unwavering stance against corruption.
“There is no question of compromise on corruption under the BJP government. I have realised that there were significant irregularities and project cost escalations due to delays in the previous administration,” he said.
“You have the power to make decisions within your jurisdiction. Work independently, without fear or pressure, and ensure quick justice for the people,” he added.
He urged the officials to investigate any irregularities that come to their attention.
The Chief Minister criticised the slow pace of project implementation and price escalation of the projects.
Majhi highlighted the vital role of district collectors as a bridge between the government and the public.
He stressed the importance of ensuring that welfare benefits reach those at the grassroots level.
