The Congress has demanded that an all-party meeting be convened immediately to deal with the Corona epidemic in the state.
PCC president Niranjan Patnaik today wrote a letter to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik urging him to convene an all-party meeting to discuss and deal with the Corona situation. PCC president Patnaik said he had written a letter to the chief minister calling an all-party meeting 15 months ago. But after the first wave of Chief Minister Karona’s epidemic came to an end, the situation in the second wave was uncontrollable and in a state of crisis, but the Chief Minister did not show any interest in it. So for the second time, Mr. Patnaik wrote another letter today to protect the state of the crisis and the people of the state. To this day, there is not a single day that a person does not lose a relative. Cases are increasing day by day.
Even the death toll from the government is not being taken seriously. I doubt that only the government can handle such a dire situation. In such a crisis, it is important to stay out of politics and deal with different sections of society by overcoming political differences.
The government needs to take responsibility for the management of all these conflicts, as well as listen to people from all walks of life. The Speaker of the Legislative Assembly convened a meeting to convince the MLAs of the Odisha Legislative Assembly. You were also present at the meeting. Ironically, many political party leaders were not invited to the meeting, and many lawmakers were not present. Perhaps you were under political pressure and arranged to convene such a meeting in spite of your reluctance. In this way, you have made a popular play for the unanimous decision of the leaders of different sections of society and different political parties, he said.
So don’t waste time and an all-party meeting with eminent social workers, experts and experienced leaders of various political parties can help fight this situation. There is a need for a special time-consuming and scientific blueprint for how the epidemic can be prevented by thorough discussion with all. The Covid epidemic has spread from rural to inaccessible areas, he added.
“He is ready to do whatever he can to help the party and the people of the state to protect the state from the pandemic,” Mr Patnaik said.
