Patnaik Asks BJD MLAs to Monitor Govt Departments, Raise Issues in Odisha Assembly
Biju Janata Dal (BJD) supremo Naveen Patnaik has directed party MLAs to closely monitor the activities of various government departments and bring relevant issues to light in the Odisha Assembly. The directive, announced through a party release on Wednesday, emphasizes increased scrutiny and accountability within the state government.
The Biju Janata Dal, with 51 MLAs including Patnaik, holds a significant presence in the 147-member Odisha Assembly. This move aims to ensure that government departments operate efficiently and address the needs and concerns of the public effectively.
“The BJD president has allotted different departments to various MLAs for close monitoring, interventions in the assembly, and other issues relating to the department concerned,” the party release stated. This strategic allocation is expected to enhance the oversight and responsiveness of government operations.
Party insiders suggest that this initiative reflects Patnaik’s commitment to maintaining transparency and effectiveness in governance. By involving MLAs directly in the monitoring process, the BJD hopes to promptly identify and resolve issues that may arise within different departments.
Political analysts view this directive as a proactive step towards strengthening the party’s role in legislative activities and governance. It also underscores Patnaik’s leadership in fostering a culture of accountability and active participation among party members.
As the BJD MLAs gear up to take on their new responsibilities, their performance in monitoring and raising pertinent issues in the assembly will be closely watched by both the public and political observers.
