Bhubaneswar: There is a lot of discussion about the BJD's discontent in state politics. As much content is being published on digital media, discontent and group disputes are at the forefront. But among these, the biggest political discontent has arisen in the BJP. This has weakened the organization and has also created apprehension in the ministers about the chair. As preparations are underway for the government's one-year anniversary, we are presenting to you three main points where this discontent and apprehension have intensified.
First, the officials' gluttony. The party and the government have wanted to shift the burden on themselves by blaming the bureaucracy. The government has wanted to divert the attention of its leaders and workers. That is, it has wanted to divert its helplessness elsewhere. Due to this, the distance between the officials and the administration has increased. The situation has become such that even Odisha officials do not want to stay in Odisha. The Chief Minister's office is also not exempt from this. Instead of mere change, the state administration is busy. Sometimes the police are replaced by IAS. Sometimes the teachers are replaced by OAS. Perhaps not a single cadre of the state is left out of such a change. However, the officers are reluctant to listen to the MLAs. The very essence of Odisha is in a dilemma between their own pride and arrogance. The common Odia is not getting any benefit. The request that was once made directly to the officers was transformed into action, now it is like a 'sky cracker'. And if the ailing person expresses his grief through the MLA, the officers are silent by showing various signs. In such a situation, there is almost a standstill in the administration. As a result, the leaders are lashing out against the officers. And after the MLAs repeatedly complained that the officers were not listening to them, the Chief Minister and the Governor have separately informed the officers of the state about the Constitution and its provisions. But the result is that the house is empty. Therefore, it is natural to wonder how long the government, which is failing to make the people work, will continue to fight against such officers? In a government where the Chief Minister's office is not even functioning properly, how will the people of the state get a proper officer?
The second reason for dissatisfaction and dismay is the 'half-full cabinet'. The number of ministers prescribed for the state in this cabinet of the state government has not been followed. The Constitution has given us the right to govern with 22 ministers. The framers of the Constitution hoped that democratic values would be maintained while taking decisions in the state. But now the number of ministers in our state is 16. That is, the posts of 6 ministers are vacant. On the other hand, it can be said that 'the cabinet is half-full.' You may say that if the cabinet is functioning with such a large number of ministers, then why is there discontent among the parties? The answer is very simple. You also know. If a minister is given a ministerial post even after becoming an MLA, then according to the system, his financial and social well-being increases. He gets the opportunity to enjoy more government facilities for a while. Along with this, his responsibilities also increase. A well-known minister may get the opportunity to do the work that he could not do as an MLA. So that helps him in contesting the next elections. But as the posts are not being filled, hopes, lobbying and dissatisfaction are increasing day by day. And even from within Sone, his MLAs are saying that they are not able to work after becoming ministers. In other words, instead of 6 seats, the object of dissatisfaction of 18 MLAs is the government. But even though according to the Constitution, all the powers of the cabinet are vested in the Chief Minister, it is said that he is waiting for the central decision with both hands raised.
The third and most serious problem is the vacant chairmanship posts in corporations and commissions. These political posts are especially helpful in securing the position of party workers and poor candidates. Because these are the eyes, nose and ears of the party. If these cannot be managed properly, the leader may be sitting but where else will the organization go? But the government is not able to figure out who will get which corporations and commissions. Since different lobbies are working in the party, everything is being made dependent on the central leaders. The central leaders have also relied on others to keep their image clean and tidy. But those 'others' are not paying attention to Odisha. Because Odisha has never played a role in controlling the central politics. Although BJD used to have some importance in the governance, now BJD is empty in the Lok Sabha. But this empty BJD is playing a very good role in the lobby of the central leaders. Therefore, if 'the opposition is ours and the government is ours', then why is the central organization also silent in order to fill its head with the internal politics of the state. Amidst this silence, one year of governance in the state has passed. Three more years out of four are important. If these political issues are not resolved, then there will be no result of celebrating and spreading false joy.
