The News Insight: Not only people in rival parties, but also a significant chunk within his own party sought to discredit Dharmendra Pradhan, by dubbing him as an arrogant and rigid politician. However, Dharmendra has silenced all his critics within and outside with his recent actions.

His yesterday’s cordial and constructive meeting with Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik in New Delhi is seen as a game-changer for Odisha. Whether making all PSUs and Oil Marketing companies under his Ministries to contribute for Odisha’s development or joining hands with Naveen to empower the youths, he has shown strong resolve to develop the State.
