Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused both Congress and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) of exploiting Odisha's resources, leaving the state impoverished. Speaking in Behrampur ahead of state polls, Modi highlighted Odisha's wealth but questioned why its people remain poor. He directly criticized BJD leaders, including Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, for failing to address key issues like migration, healthcare, and education. Modi's remarks, a rare direct attack on Patnaik's leadership, underscored the challenges facing the state.
