However, farmers who suffered during natural disasters did not get any compensation. Rahul also alleged that the present government of the BJP in Odisha is acting just like the previous BJD regime and stealing the wealth from the poor while helping big companies, including Adani.“The BJP government in Odisha is working overtime to steal from the poor and help big companies. It is doing the same thing that BJD was doing earlier. On one side, there are poor people including Dalits, adivasis, backward classes, farmers, and labourers, and on the other side, there are five to six big companies and the BJP government,” he said while asserting that only the Congress workers in alliance with the people of Odisha can win this fight and ensure justice and equality.The Opposition leader also alleged that the BJP government threatened the Drivers’ Union to disrupt the Congress Samabesh at Baramunda.“However, I thank the members of the Union for supporting us. The Govt must listen to their grievances,” Rahul said.Endorsing Rahul’s views, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that out of 7 crore voters in Bihar, the BJP wants to delist two crore to manipulate the upcoming elections in the State.He alleged that the BJP is running an agenda to destroy the Indian constitution.“Their unsuccessful attempt to get 400 plus seats in the General Election was intended at amending the constitution to snatch the voting rights of people,” he alleged.Kharge also took a potshot at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he is more interested in getting honours from various nations and is least concerned about Manipur. “This is the reason he visited so many countries but did not visit Manipur,” the Congress President said.
