A reported loss in the MMDR scheme in Odisha has led senior BJD leader Prasanna Acharya to publicly challenge the state government's position.
The MMDR (Multi‑Modal Development Resource) programme in Odisha has reportedly suffered a financial shortfall, prompting concerns among stakeholders. Details of the loss have not been disclosed, but the issue has attracted attention from opposition figures and policy analysts.
Biju Janata Dal (BJD) senior leader Prasanna Acharya addressed the matter in a press briefing, stating that the government’s response has been inadequate. He urged the state administration to provide a clear accounting of the loss and to outline corrective measures.
Acharya warned that without transparent action, public confidence in the MMDR initiative could erode, potentially affecting future development projects. He called for an independent audit and for the government to engage with affected parties to restore trust.
