Kartik Pandian’s Nuapada Campaigning: Mega Roadshow Shows Khariar People’s Affection to Naveen

Nuapada: Senior Biju Janata Dal leader and 5T Chairman Kartik Pandian continued his third day of campaigning today in Nuapada district.

Pandian received a rousing welcome in Khariar where people showered their affection through a 12 kilometer long roadshow from Khariar Road to Nuapada. Thousands of people gathered to welcome him.

Speaking at the public meeting, Pandian said your presence in huge numbers is giving sleepless nights to the opposition.

He also said, neither single, nor double, only Nabin Babu Engine will run in Odisha always. Naveen Engine is the strongest. “If double engine is so good, why there is regular change in engine in neighboring Chhattisgarh”, he asked.

“What has your MP done in the last five years? Looking at the Nuapada-Bhawanipatna road it seems that the condition of the two-lane road is very bad. Many Panchayats don’t even have mobile network. Look at Naveen Babu’s Biju Expressway and the Central Govt’s National Highway, you will see the difference”, the senior BJD leader said.
