Jharsuguda: Brajrajnagar BJP MLA Smt. Radha Rani Panda on Monday sat on hunger strike demanding to declare entire Jharsuguda district as a complete drought affected district.
Smt. Panda, along with several of her supporters began the hunger strike at Jharsuguda Collectorate and accused the state government for its unjustified move, �First it has declared Jharsuguda as drought affected district due to the death of two farmers in the district. But later on it was dropped. I demand that Jharsuguda district should be declared as drought affected, till it is not declared I will continue my hunger strike.�
�If the reports were given to Government, then Government had declared 21 district as drought affected in which Jharsuguda was included but why afterwards Jharsuguda was dropped� She questioned
There is a political reason as in Jharsuguda there is no MLA of the ruling party so, the people of the Jharsuguda district has been neglected. �She added.
