Imported a high-quality downpipe for my Abarth Punto: 53,000 km update

BHPian sidindica recently shared this with other enthusiasts.Update | 5.4 years | 53500 kms | Stage 2 I always like to add things patiently and slowly, so as to keep interest in the car. Since this car is meant to be kept for a long time, maintenance, periodic replacement of parts and incremental upgrades is the best way to not get bored of it.Changing the brakesThe car crossed 51,500 kms and the factory discs were nearing the end of their life, of course, this is not a car to be driven with light foot so it's always better to check and perform designated replacements along with pads. Replaced all 4 discs with OE replacement Brembo rotors (INR 12,500) and EBC Yellow stuff pads (INR 20k). Still feel this is the best balanced combination for my car.Changing the tyres:The earlier Pilot Sport 4s too were beginning to deteriorate so replaced them with a new set of PS4s (freshly available now) of 205/55 R16 size. Not cheap though at INR 11.4k/tyre.Service with fluids change:52,500 kms service was performed at Landmark, Okhla. Changed the oil (Selenia K), all filters (except air), brake oil, transmission oil with brakes being bled and serviced after my recent trip.Going for Stage 2:For a long time, I have been doing research on the pros and cons of adding a catless downpipe. Since all my parts on the car are international branded which are certified for this very car and platform, I had to take the same route with the downpipe. This was anyways my first car and first experiment with adding a catless downpipe, so TMC Motorsport UK launched their downpipe for IHI 60mm turbo (2.25 diameter) back in December 2023. Their appearance, build and overall quality looked top-class, so ordered the same in the beginning of April. The parcel came, and here was what it looked like: Quality does come at a price, which costed approx INR 34k (cost of DP+shipping+duties). Impressed with the high quality of construction of T304 grade SS, with proper weld marks and excellent finish, this was just what I was looking for. Installation was done at Fiat FNG (Jhalak) and it took 2 hours to do a neat installation by the mechs. As expected, this is a reversible bolt-on mod. The OE heat shield (bottom one) cannot be fitted as there is no provision so I had to go with Kool Wraps Australia Sourced Heat wrapping strip (Photo below) As expected, the O2 sensor error (P0420-CEL) appeared after 50 kms of driving, and I got it cleared by the scanner, though a proper map update by Wolf Moto is pending which will be done once they arrive next in Delhi. I got coolant changed as well since summers are at their peak also.Initial ImpressionsThe ECU took time to adapt to the DP and altered O2 parameters, once it adapted, the mid range grunt of the car improved, and the car felt more addictive with more consistent torque delivery throughout the torque band. Already the car was never meant to be driven with light foot, this will further add to the addiction. Haven't seen much difference in FE, have to do proper logging in days to come for this. I think overall the car feels more complete, just like what it should be, not gunning for just straight line acceleration and numbers, but better driveability, torque, and catalogued high-quality build. Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

Manmohan Singh Reaffirms Muslims' First Claim on Country's Resources

New Delhi: Former Prime Minister and Congress leader Manmohan Singh reiterated his statement from the 2009 Lok Sabha elections about Muslims having the first right to the country's resources. A video of the former Prime Minister has surfaced in which he stands firm on his previous statement. The BJP has criticized the Congress based on this video. The BJP posted a video of Manmohan Singh on X, stating, In April 2009, just before the general elections, Dr. Manmohan Singh reiterated his statement that minorities, particularly poor Muslims, should be given priority in access to the country's resources. He clearly said he stood by his previous statement that Muslims should have the first claim on resources. The BJP's post further said, This clear statement from Dr. Manmohan Singh refutes Congress's denials and proves that prioritizing Muslims over others is the party's explicit policy. This mentality extends from reservations to resource allocation, showcasing Congress's mindset of prioritizing Muslims in every aspect. April 2009: In the run up to Lok Sabha election, Dr Manmohan Singh, reiterated his statement that minorities, especially poor Muslims, should get priority when it comes to the nations resources. He categorically stated that he stood by his earlier assertion that Muslims should pic.twitter.com/sNTYa5WSfM BJP (@BJP4India) April 26, 2024 In the video shared by the BJP, Manmohan Singh can be heard saying, I did not say (inaudible)... I said that minorities, especially Muslim minorities, if they are poor, have the first claim on the country's resources. I said that all types of minorities, especially Muslim minorities, have a right, and I stand by my statement. This statement references the former Prime Minister's similar statement from 2006. In December 2006, Singh stated at an event, We need to formulate plans for minorities, especially Muslims, to empower them to benefit equally from our development. They should have the first claim on resources. This statement was also mentioned verbatim on the PMO website. The statement sparked significant controversy at the time, and the PMO attempted damage control the following day. However, the 2009 video shows that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stood by his statement even then. Prime Minister Modi recently referenced Manmohan Singh's statement during an election rally, criticizing Congress's promise of reallocation of the country's assets. He claimed that Congress wants to take away women's mangalsutras to give them to those whom it believes have the first right to the country's wealth. Despite Congress's attempts to deny this claim, the recent video of Manmohan Singh has once again raised questions about the party's stance.

Ahead Of Selection Day, Looking At India's Likely Squad For The T20 World Cup

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah: Ahead of the May 1 deadline for teams to submit their Mens T20 World Cup squads, the discussion around who makes it to Indias squad for the mega event happening in the West Indies and USA from June 1 is at an all-time high. With every match in IPL 2024, the list of contenders for the Mens T20 World Cup selection gets a new addition. On the other hand, some surge ahead to be the front-runners through their scintillating performances. All of this makes it a problem of plenty for the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee to finalise the 15-member India squad, in terms of picking players on past performances or go by current form in IPL 2024. IANS looks at the likely 15-member India squad for the T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma (captain) BCCI Secretary Jay Shah had announced in February this year that Rohit would captain Indian team in the mega event, just a month after he made his return to the format internationally through the Afghanistan series. In eight matches of IPL 2024, Rohit has amassed 303 runs with a strike rate of 162.9, including an unbeaten 105 against Chennai Super Kings. Virat Kohli Though Rohit opened with Jaiswal and Gill in the Afghanistan series, with Kohli batting at number three slot in two matches, this could change for the World Cup. Kohli, the leading run-getter in IPL 2024, could get promoted to open the batting alongside Rohit so that he can give a turbo-start in the powerplay, considering his tendency to slow down in middle overs, which was seen during his fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday. Suryakumar Yadav The top-ranked mens T20I batter has been in scintillating touch in the last few years with his unorthodox strokeplay and consistently getting runs from it. After returning from an ankle injury and sports hernia surgery, Suryakumar has still been at his rollicking best despite two ducks, amassing 140 runs in five innings. In six T20Is in West Indies, his strike-rate is also at a high 161.19. Rishabh Pant The left-handed wicketkeeper-batter has been getting back to his best self since returning to competitive cricket after recovering from various injuries suffered in a life-threatening car accident in December 2022. In nine matches of IPL 2024, Pant has scored 342 runs in nine innings, averaging 48.86 at a strike-rate of 161.32. With the gloves, Pant has been massively impactful, taking 10 catches and effecting three stumpings. In the start, many were anxious about how Pant would fare after a long layoff. But as of now, hes shown that he takes up keeping loads very well, apart from finishing games with the bat. The only point of concern is his T20I record, where he averages 22.43 and has a strike rate of 126.37 in 66 games. Sanju Samson The choice for the second keeper will come to a toss-up between Samson and KL Rahul, with Dinesh Karthik also having an outside chance. But in current form, Samson has shown the consistency and ability to make big scores, as seen from his 314 runs coming at an average of over 50 and a strike rate above 150. Though he didnt make most of the few chances he got in the T20I set-up, Samson has shown that he can be a reliable option if given an opportunity. Shivam Dube Since the time Chennai Super Kings roped him ahead of IPL 2022, Dube has literally turned a corner in terms of batting in T20s. Dube was given the role of being the spin-hitter in middle-overs, which he has excelled in, thanks to his long reach and powerful shots. Based on his stellar IPL 2023, he made his return to the India T20I team and even bagged Player of the Series award in the Afghanistan series. IPL 2024 has also seen Dube garner runs against fast bowlers, especially against short balls, which has been his nemesis for a long time. With conditions in the West Indies expected to aid spinners more, Dubes presence will be all-important for India and utilise his spin-hitting prowess. Hardik Pandya The fast-bowling all-rounder hasnt been at his best with both bat and ball, as well as a leader of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. But with his closest competitor Dube not getting to bowl in IPL 2024 due to impact player rule, it means that Hardik will get into the 15-member squad due to the skillsets he possesses. In IPL 2024, Hardik hasnt been the prolific hitter hes known to be, making only 151 runs in eight innings and hitting just seven sixes. With the ball, hes bowled only 17 overs and picked just four wickets, at an economy rate of 10.94. Rinku Singh The left-handed batter shot to limelight with five sixes on last five balls of the innings against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023, a season where he continuously showed his finishing skills. He would make his India T20I debut later in the year and amass 356 runs in 15 games, staying not out in seven of them at a high strike rate of 176.23. Though he hasnt got many chances to be the finisher for KKR in IPL 2024, as their top order has done bulk of scoring so far, Rinku can be trusted to excel as a finisher in the World Cup. Ravindra Jadeja Though Jadeja has taken four wickets in IPL 2024 for the Chennai Super Kings and made 157 runs with the bat, including struggling to break free while batting at times, his experience of playing previously in the West Indies and being a clutch player in the format, especially with conditions aiding his bowling, makes him a worthy addition for the World Cup. Kuldeep Yadav The left-arm wrist-spinner has had a stellar time in the format since being picked by Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2022. Strong performances in IPL since then (including 12 wickets in six matches), along with an international return and taking a five-wicket haul against South Africa last year on his birthday, Kuldeep is sure to be the lead spinner for India in the World Cup at West Indies. Jasprit Bumrah India had badly missed Bumrah's X-factor when he missed the 2022 T20 World Cup due to a back injury which needed surgery. But since then, Bumrah excelled on return to international cricket and is now all set to lead the charge for India in the 2024 T20 World Cup. In IPL 2024, Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets in eight matches firing his yorkers and other deliveries with panache and precision. Arshdeep Singh With Mohammed Shami recovering from Achilles surgery and Mohammed Siraj not being in the best of form in IPL 2024, it means that Arshdeeps role will be much more important in a format which paved his entry into the Indian team and took 10 scalps in 2022 T20 World Cup. Though his form has been up and down in the international games as well as in IPL 2024, Arshdeeps skillsets of bowling in power-play and death overs can be handy for India in the World Cup. Avesh Khan Avesh has shown a lot of improvement in his death overs bowling in IPL 2024 and has eight wickets from as many matches with an economy rate of 9.41, with his wide yorkers and slower balls being his go-to deliveries. Apart from bowling well in death overs, Avesh can be the enforcer in middle overs if needed, in case the Indian team doesnt select Siraj. Yashasvi Jaiswal The left-handed opener had a string of low scores in IPL 2024, but roared back into form with a 59-ball century against Mumbai Indians. With Shubman Gill also in the mix, Jaiswal could be given the nod by selectors mainly due to the variety and aggression he brings at the top, though clamours have been largely towards a Kohli-Rohit opening combination. Axar Patel Though there are specialist leg-spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi in contention for the World Cup squad, Axar stands out mainly due to his all-round skillsets. Though he hasnt taken many wickets with the ball, Axar has been able to do the holding job while operating in tandem with Kuldeep. With the bat, his promotion to three proved to be master stroke as he made an IPL best score of 66, and took boundaries aplenty against spinners. Moreover, hes also a very handy fielder, which makes his case of getting to the World Cup stronger as compared to Chahal and Bishnoi.

A Brezza owner buys the Ertiga VXI BS-6: His unbiased impressions

BHPian jessie007 recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Ertiga Vxi Petrol Manual (Mild Hybrid) BSVI 2024 - Features & brief review Colour: Arctic Silver (has a light bluish tinge in daylight) We have a 2019 diesel Brezza (BSIV) & an automatic Nano. We were in a market for a petrol vehicle with an ex-showroom price of under one million rupees. This was due to the fact that BSIV diesel vehicles are not allowed to ply in Delhi few days of the year when pollution level peaks, especially during foggy winters. Even though we were not necessarily looking for a 7 seater, but saw that the price of Ertiga was the same as the new Brezza's, which we were considering. Plus since we already have a Brezza, found the Ertiga to be a good option - since The family was used to having 7+ seaters - Sumos (the original one earlier, & then the Grande Mark II later, before the 10 year diesel ban rule forced us to sell the Grande, & later my Grande Punto too - really sad. Both vehicles were in good running condition & passed pollution norms as laid out by a govt agency itself). Will rant on this arbit govt policy in some other thread. Kia Carens was given a miss based on three factors:It was pricier by almost Rs 2 lakhs on-road (we were not ready to spend much above 10 lakhs). Ertiga already was coming to 11 lakhs on-road.It didn't offer a mild hybrid option which provides a stepping stone to hybrids and EVs, I believe. Plus the added advantage of a slightly better fuel efficiency (Ertiga ARAI is 20.51 kmpl; Carens has 17.9 kmpl for the comparative petrol manual variant) appealed to us, as we have mostly driven diesel vehicles giving decent fuel efficiency, and would shudder to think of driving a big vehicle giving just about 9 kmpl in the city with AC (which runs for atleast 9-10 months in Delhi) & running on the more expensive fuel i.e. petrol. Another point not going for the Brezza - its Vxi (Manual Transmission MT) does ot offer smart hybrid functionality. Only Vxi AT (Automatic) offers, or Zxi MT & AT.Read reviews on Team BHP about AC water leakage in the third row in the Kia Carens. Also we aren't easily swayed by flashy features. In any case our mind was also made-up to go for the Ertiga, so didn't even push for discount from Kia.XL6 was given a miss due to higher price, preference of bench seat (more practical for a family) over captain seats, no issues related to - MUV look or taxi image of Ertiga - used to having taxi image vehicles in the family - Maruti Van, Tata Sumo, Tata Indigo.I personally prefer base & middle variants of vehicles in which one gets 90% of the car & necessary features in approx 75% of the price (debatable %age). The case for base variants has become more compelling after dual front airbags and ABS became mandatory for all variants. For me personally, features like Automatic Climate Control (ACC), Touchscreen Infotainment system, Sunroof, Push button start, Auto headlamps & Wipers, DRLs, ADAS & even features like auto-folding ORVMs are some of the features, I can do without, if it shaves off a couple of lakh off the final price. Plus lack of gaudy chrome work is a plus too. Though miss seat height adjust, that is generally not offered in middle variants (it is there in Brezza Vxi though - more on it later). Price (Delhi)Ex-showroom: ~ Rs 9.85 lakhsOn-Road: ~ Rs 11:15 lakhsEngine: K15C Smart HybridCC / Cylinder: 1462 CC / 4 cylinderPower: 102 BHP @ 6000 RPMTorque: 136.8 Nm @ 4400 RPMWheel Rim: 15 Steel with wheel coversTyre Size: 185/65 R15 (Same size for spare - no cost cutting here)Tyre Make: Bridgestone Ecopia (Like Bridgestones, but these don't have an impressive contact patch. Believe this Ecopia range is geared for less friction & rolling mass, in the interest of marginally better fuel economy)Turning Radius: 5.2 m only (decent for a vehicle almost 4.4 metres long)Fuel Tank capacity: 45 LitresDecent sized fuel tank. Many vehicles are nowadays having smaller fuel tanks in the 37-42 litre range. (Eg. Renault Triber 40L; Honda City & Elevate 40L; Maruti Ciaz 43L). Range is another matter, which is a factor of fuel efficiency. Assuming approx 12 kmpl average in city with AC, we can expect a range of approx 550 kms, which is decent for a 7-seater petrol MUV. Obviously with a mix of highway & city run, the range will increase to almost 650 kms with say 14+ kmpl. (ARAI figure is a generous one for this mild hybrid 7-seater at 20.51 kmpl - higher than most petrol sedans & SUVs) Accessories Installed (MGA)Front Fog Lamps with switch on the inside (with LED indicator) - nicely fills the blank too, between the buttons for auto-start/stop & ESC.Following two accessories, family insisted - am not a fan of adding cosmetic accessories:Door protector strip (for 4 doors) - feels thick and of good quality with a chrome strip (don't know how this chrome part will hold in the long term).Visors for windows. Interestingly there is a neatly designed piece for the third-row fixed (non-openable) side-window pieces too - though don't like these plastic visors at all, as at highway speeds they often flutter, become loose and start rattling eventually. Let us see how these ones cope. Under-hood cladding for noise insulation (not that the engine is noisy in the first place) With all seats occupied, boot can accommodate luggage for 2-3 days trip: a) a medium-sized & a cabin-sized suitcase & perhaps a couple of soft bags. Need to remove lids covering storage area, so that the suitcase can go down further. Attaching image from company brochure for reference. OR b) a couple of cabin bags or haversacks, & some soft bags However with six people travelling, one seat in the last row can be folded and lot more luggage can be accommodated (including a large, medium & small suitcase & some soft bags). Mentioning all the features of this middle variant - some features might be considered common, but some are quite welcome inclusions for a middle variant of a 7 seater MUV with an ex-showroom price south of 10 lacks (lower tax bracket too) Features (has most necessary features & then some) Safety The Ertiga got a 3-star safety rating in NCAP testing. Not a very reassuring rating, would have preferred atleast a 4 star rated vehicle. The Brezza still remains the highest rated Maruti vehicle with a 4-star rating. The Grand Vitara might also get a decent rating. Although I believe as per BSNCAP (India specific) most vehicles, other than some tin boxes (Alto, Celerio, Ignis, Wagon R & the like) will manage a 4 star rating, especially with standard features set including ESP also now, which gives extra points I believe.Twin front airbags with ABSESP (Electronic Stability Program) - earlier available only in automatic variantsHill HoldHeight adjustable head-rests for front & rear seats, and two seats in the middle row (no headrest for middle passenger). Also lap belt only (not 3 pointed) for middle passenger in middle row. 04 rear parking sensors with graphic display in MID Mild Hybrid ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) & Li-ion battery under front passenger seat that aids in idle Start-stop (can be switched off), Torque assist on sudden acceleration, brake-energy recuperation - Maruti claims a higher ARAI of around 20.5 kmpl versus approx 17 kmpl in non-mild-hybrid variants.

As PM heads to Malda, Congress raises issues of erosion, cattle smuggling and unfinished airport

NEW DELHI: Why did the prime minister do nothing to prevent river erosion in Malda and what happened to the Malda airport, the Congress asked on Friday as Narendra Modi heads to the West Bengal district for campaigning. Posting a series of questions on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh also raised the issue of cattle smuggling in the area. : 1. ? 2. ? 3. ? : 1. Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) April 26, 2024 The prime minister is scheduled to address a poll rally in Malda on Friday. Questions for PM as he visits Malda in West Bengal: Why has the PM done nothing to prevent river erosion in Malda? What about Malda airport? What has the PM done to halt the illegal smuggling of cattle, Ramesh asked in a post on X. He said thousands of families in Malda district suffer due to their land being eroded by the Ganga and Fulahar rivers. BJP MLA from Englishbazar town Sreerupa Mitra Chaudhary had written to the prime minister in 2023 to seek an appointment to apprise him about the problem, he said. She highlighted the fact that affected residents are mostly from the Scheduled Castes or Other Backward Classes, and requested Rs 10,000 crore to conduct anti-erosion works, Ramesh added. Most of the district lies in the region of the Farakka Barrage, operated by the Central government and is therefore the responsibility of the Modi Sarkar, he said. Ten years after coming to power, and despite generous on-paper allocations to Namami Gange, why has the Modi Sarkar not made a single intervention to protect Malda's Scheduled Caste and OBC families from the rampant problem of river erosion, he asked. Ramesh also alleged that the Modi government had neglected the Malda airport for almost 10 years. The state government had already built a runway by the time the PM came to power in 2014. However, flight services are yet to start. Airports would increase business and trade opportunities - especially for perishable goods like Malda's famous mangoes - and improve access to medical services in the district, he said. The BJP had assured the people of Malda that they would provide small aircraft services, and Airports Authority of India officials visited the site multiple times but the airport still remains closed, Ramesh claimed. The runway, he contended, is being used by people from surrounding neighbourhoods for their morning walk. Locals fear the airport will eventually fall into disrepair because of the Modi government's apathy, he said. What has the Prime Minister done in the last ten years to halt the illegal smuggling of cattle into Bangladesh, Ramesh said using the hashtag #ChuppiTodoPradhanMantriji. Noting that cattle smuggling across the Bangladesh border has emerged as a key issue in recent years, one often raked up by the PM himself, the Congress general secretary alleged that Modi fails to mention that cattle smuggling is only a reality because of the failure of the BJP administrations at the Centre and various states. At the national level, the BSF and the Customs Department are responsible for aiding and abetting the smuggling mafia. At the state level, the origin of most of the cattle is BJP-ruled states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. State police and administration turning a blind eye to smuggling of cattle out of these states is the root cause of the issue, he claimed.

Delhi Capitals eye playoff boost against underperforming Mumbai Indians

Delhi Capitals eye playoff boost against underperforming Mumbai Indians Bolstered by Rishabh Pant's brilliant batting form and inspiring leadership, the resurrected Delhi Capitals will aim to continue their upward march in the IPL points table when they take on an inconsistent Mumbai Indians here on Saturday. The Capitals have endured a rollercoaster season so far, showing flashes of brilliance while also succumbing to embarrassing defeats. But three wins in the last four matches have helped them climb to the sixth spot and a win against MI will strengthen their claim to a play off spot. On the other hand, after a familiar poor start, MI bounced back with three wins in their next four matches but a comprehensive nine-wicket thrashing by Rajasthan Royals put an end to their resurgence. They are tottering on the eighth place on the points table and can ill-afford to lose. DC's biggest positive has undoubtedly been skipper Rishabh Pant's form, which appears to be improving with each game. He has looked sharp behind the stumps and seems to be batting with freedom. He was at his belligerent best during a match-winning unbeaten knock against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday. It would be fair to say that the southpaw is in prime position to make India's squad for the T20 World Cup despite stiff opposition from the likes of Sanju Samson, Dinesh Karthik and Ishan Kishan. In Jack Fraser-McGurk, DC have found an able top-order batter who can exploit the powerplay but more is expected of opener Prithvi Shaw, given that his only responsibility is to bat as he is used as an Impact Substitute. David Warner missed out the previous game, making way for Shai Hope, who couldn't capitalise on the opportunity, and the veteran Australian might be brought back in the playing XI. Tristan Stubbs has time and again proved he can be brutal with the bat while Axar Patel also showcased his batting prowess when he was elevated up the order in the four-run win against GT. While the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar have bowled economically, DC's fast bowling unit needs to step up. Pace spearhead Anrich Nortje is having a forgettable season and has leaked runs at 13.36 which has been a major problem for Delhi. The likes of Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar and Ishant Sharma have been plagued by injuries leading to inconsistent runs. They were taken to the cleaners by MI batters, who piled on 234/5 earlier in the season. And DC would be wary of a similar performance. MI's resurgence this season began with a win against DC and the five-time champions would hope for an encore in the crucial clash. For Mumbai, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have got runs but all of them have found form in patches. It's time for the likes of Tim David, Ishan Kishan and skipper Hardik Pandya to contribute a big way and take some pressure off the top trio. While the batting department has occasionally looked good, the bowling remains a massive cause of concern. Jasprit Bumrah has expectedly been MI's standout bowler. He has led the attack with 13 wickets at an economy rate of 6.37. However, new addition Gerald Coetzee has been inconsistent in his maiden IPL. Though he has an economy of 10.10, the South African pacer has accounted for 12 wickets in eight games. But barring the two seamers, Mumbai's bowling has disappointed. SQUADS: ====== Delhi Capitals: Rishabh Pant (c), David Warner, Abishek Porel, Ricky Bhui, Yash Dhull, Shai Hope, Prithvi Shaw, Tristan Stubbs, Kumar Kushagra, Swastik Chikara, Ishant Sharma, Jhye Richardson, Rasikh Dar Salam, Vicky Ostwal, Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Praveen Dubey, Khaleel Ahmed, Sumit Kumar, Axar Patel, Gulbadin Naib, Lalit Yadav, Jake Fraser-McGurk.

Odisha lost 25 yrs under Naveen Patnaik government: Amit Shah

BHUBANESWAR: Setting the tone for the BJPs election campaign pitch, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday tore into the BJD government for keeping Odisha underdeveloped when several backward states have made rapid progress with accelerated growth of four to five times. Addressing an impressive Vijay Sankalp Samabesh at Sonepur, the first election rally by any of the top guns of the BJP, Shah launched a scathing attack on the Naveen Patnaik government accusing it of failing to resolve basic problems of the people in 25 years while Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed many critical issues of the country like Article 370, Triple Talaq and Ram Mandir in the last 10 years. It was lost years for Odisha under Naveen Patnaik government. Time has come for the people to uproot the inefficient and corrupt BJD government and install a double-engine government to take the state into the pinnacle of progress, Shah thundered. Invoking Lord Jagannath and revered deities of western Odisha, Shah said it is a matter of shame that people from the state are still migrating to places like Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Surat and even Punjab despite abundant natural resources in Odisha. Dubbing the BJD government as nikamma (useless), the BJP stalwart said massive corruption is its hallmark and the public suffering has compounded as the government is run by a few bureaucrats. Without mentioning the proposed Choudwar textile park, Shah targeted the misplaced priority of state government as it has no plan for revival of the closed textile industries in the western region including the one at Sonepur. Instead of setting up textile industries where cotton cultivation is taken up in a massive way, the state government is planning it elsewhere. There is no logic as western Odisha disticts are major producers of cotton, Shah said adding, his party will set up a textile industry, a fisheries college, agro industry and an ayurvedic medicinal plant in the region. You gave 25 years to BJD. Give five years to BJP and see how a double-engine government solves all problems, he exhorted the people of the state. Recounting the liberal financial assistance given to the state government in the last 10 years, Shah said the Centre released more than Rs 10,000 crore under Jal Jeevan Mission for supply of tap water to all the households. The state has not been able to utilise even Rs 5,000 crore and a large number of households are going without tap water. Clearing the doubt among party workers that he may go soft on BJD after the failed talk of alliance, Shah called the Chief Minister as a liar for claiming credit for the free rice given to families covered under National Food Security Act and houses under PMAY. Scared of Modi popularity, the Naveen Patnaik government is not implementing Ayushman Bharat scheme depriving the poor people from availing free health services, he said. While assailing the regional party for ruining the Sri Jagannath Temple heritage, Shah said the inauguration of the temple corridor project at Puri was deliberately done during the Ram Mandir consecration at Ayodhya to divert the attention of the people of Odisha. Let the BJP come to power in the state, we will improve the temple town like Kashi Viswanath in Varanasi, he said. The meeting was attended by Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Balangir MP Sangeeta Kumari Singhdeo, state BJP president Manmohan Samal and senior leader KV Singhdeo.
