The BJP government is conspiring to stop the salaries of more than 70 lakh Mission Shakti women, Naveen said.

Notably, hundreds of community support staff under the Mission Shakti department have been protesting under the banner of All Odisha GPLF Mission Shakti Workers Union over the 10-point demand, including nonpayment of salary f and regularisation of their jobs.
The organisation began the protest reportedly after discussions with the state government failed.
