What are the other parties (Congress, CPI, CPI-M, OGP, etc.) in Orissa doing about this?
We have discussed a lot about what the Orissa government has done and not done about the shifting of NIS. We have heard the CM writing to the PM, and meeting the HRD minister about this, we think he needs to do much much more and we are bothered by the lack of intensity in his way to deal with this.
One thing that is equally bothersome is that we have not heard anything from the parties, such as Congress, CPI, CPI-M, etc. which are in power at the center. No statements from the Orissa MPs and MLAs from these parties, as well as general members of these parties, are reported in the press.
Don't they care?
Are they only interested in pleasing Smt. Gandhi so that they can get the upcoming minister slot and don't want to rock the boat?
Shouldn't they use their membership and proximity to the Indian government to make the case for Orissa publicly?
