Lost glory of Ratna Bhandar will be restored: Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked the BJD and called for ousting from power ''those responsible for keeping people poor despite the State having bountiful natural resources''.
Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked the BJD and called for ousting from power ''those responsible for keeping people poor despite the State having bountiful natural resources''.
Addressing election rallies in Kandhamal, Bolangir and Bargarh Lok Sabha seats, Modi said Odisha's 'asmita' (pride) is in danger and the BJP will protect it.
Referring to the sensitive issue of Lord Jagannath's 'Ratna Bhandar' (temple treasury), he said the last inventory of the valuables was made 40 years ago and key of inner chambers has been missing for the last six years.
The State government constituted a judicial commission to probe the incident of the missing key but the report was not made public, he said.
''I promise to the people of Odisha that the lost glory of 'Ratna Bhandar' will be restored once the BJP forms the government in the State. This is Modi's guarantee,'' he said.
