: BJD leader VK Pandian, addressing a public meeting at Siala village of the Sonepur Assembly constituency in Subarnapur district on Sunday, came down heavily on the opposition parties saying they are conspiring to derail the development process in Odisha for their narrow interests.   Pandian said the opposition parties are hatching a conspiracy to stop the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana, Mission Shakti programmes and even prevented the women SHG members from going to Dubai.   The BJD believes in work and not in rhetoric. But the Opposition is conspiring to stop all development works. The opposition parties are fundamentally anti-development, said Pandian adding that Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is keen to make Odisha prosperous.   I call upon the Opposition to come and see the unwavering support and love people have for Naveenbabu. The huge gathering, despite the scorching heat, will give them a sense of the peoples affection for the CM, said Pandian.   Later, Pandian addressed another public meeting at Kairajhuli in the Birmaharajpur Assembly segment.
