BHUBANESWAR: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced projects worth Rs 68 crore for the development of Pipili and Delanga areas in Puri district on Tuesday drawing sharp criticism from the Opposition Congress and BJP as bypoll to Pipili Assembly constituency is likely to be announced shortly. The bypoll has been necessitated after the demise of former minister Pradeep Maharathy on October 4 last year.
Interacting with the people of the area through video-conference, the Chief Minister announced that as part of the centenary celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi’s first visit to Odisha in 1921, the State government will set up model school at Beraboi in Delanga block which the Mahatma had visited later. He announced that a memorial on Gandhiji will also be set up at Beraboli. Gandhi had visited Beraboi in 1938 to attend an exhibition on agriculture.
