While Naveen Patnaik remains a big brand, taller than any individual or party in Odisha, the battle of 2024 still remains difficult due to the anti-incumbency and dissidence within the party after 23 years of rule.
Secretary to CM (5T) VK Pandian, who has been on a mission with massive public outreach campaign, is reaching out to the people and listening to their grievances. His message is loud and clear – Govt stands with the people. #Insight
Whether Temple transformation projects across the state or focus on Gosala, he has been adopting the ‘Soft Hindutva’, which may put the state BJP on a back foot, but will definitely impress the top brass at the centre and the Sangh Parivar.
With pro-people initiatives and pro-Hindutva approach without diluting the secular fabrics, VK Pandian is setting the right agenda, which will boost the Governance and System further. Critics may call it political approach by a bureaucrat, but the fact remains that he is the most trusted lieutenant of CM Naveen Patnaik and implementing his policies and initiatives with a determined approach. #TNI
