New Delhi: “several times before and again on 5th September 2018 Chief Minister Shri. Naveen Patnaik has given a total commitment to the Centre to provide all adequate resources including infrastructural and financial resources for setting up of the western Odisha High Court bench. Despite CM’s blank cheque for all works in this regard, why the Centre is not proceeding to name the location in consultation with Orissa High Court is surprising” said BJD MP Dr. Sasmit Patra responding to Press Meet by BJP MPs today in Delhi on western Odisha High Court Bench.
Dr Patra said ” The Centre can establish the western Odisha High Court Bench through the Indian Parliament by exercising its powers under Entry-78 of the Union List in Indian Constitution. Whenever elections come BJP starts shedding crocodile tears about the western Odisha High Court bench and after the elections they forget.”
” The BJP should ask its Party in power in Centre to establish the western Odisha High Court Bench using the powers under Entry-78 of the Union List through the Indian Parliament. Who is stopping them? Why is the BJP misleading and indulging in falsehood on this sensitive matter?” said Dr. Patra.
