Hitting out at the BJD government in Odisha, BJP president Amit Shah said Friday the state is rich in natural resources, but its people continue to remain poor under the Naveen Patnaik-led dispensation.
Addressing a rally here, Shah said the BJD rule in the state was marked by misrule and corruption.
Taking a jibe at the chief minister, Shah said, "Even after 19 years of rule in Odisha, Naveen (Patnaik) babu cannot talk to his people in Odia."
Slamming the opposition Congress, Shah said "Rahul Baba's party ruled the country for 70 years, but could not eradicate poverty."
