My
view on “Odisha Development Conclave-2018”
Why
I hold my view it as Farce ?
As per law of medical Science,
only masturbation does not ensure pregnancy. But it gives sensual or sexual
pleasure. That’s why doctors advise couple
for sexual intercourse which may lead to
pregnancy . Karl Marx has applied this scientific law while understanding the contemporary society, class exploitation,
class struggle i.e., “ theory of
two opposites.” This is the law
of nature. Similarly, mere
intellectual masturbation ( discourse
) can not give any result nor will it help
developing society or the state. It has
never happened in history. From this perspective , the performance of Odisha
Development Conclave can be analysed.
The first Odisha Development
Conclave was organized in Bhubaneswar in 2016
with much fanfare and huge
funding which has been kept secret till yet.
This 3-day programme ended with a
lot of intellectual and academic discussion
through various plenary sessions with
participation of good number of the people, activists, NGOs, Govt. officials
and many more. What is the outcome of
that mega event ? What was the action
plan and how it was implemented ? No response
has been given from the
organisers of that Conclave-2016. The net result was a
high-profile report which was presented
to Governor by Sri Jagadanand Mohanty , Secretary CYSD with his team. It was nothing but a
melodrama. In pre, post and during
this Conclave-2016 , one man was
seen being much highlighted is
none by Jagadanand Mohanty, a great Sarakari broker ( Govt. promoted Dalal )
who has spent most of his time doing
negotiation with Govt. in name of constructive engagements and hobnobbing with corrupt bureaucracy under Nabin Patnaik Govt. for project of CYSD ,
profit and Govt. land. NGO sector
has not at all been
benefitted rather he has used name of
NGO sector for his personal benefit. As I have critically understood
this man and tested him during his position
as Information Commissioner, he
has not only misbehaved RTI Activists during hearing but tried
his level best to protect corrupt Govt. official and damaged
RTI establishing unholy alliance with
corrupt bureaucrats. Nobody will find a single outstanding decision
of his five years tenure. After his
retirement , he immediately organized a NGO meet
and so-called Sambardhana Sabha
was organized by few lumpenised activists and Sycophant NGOs at
Jayadev Bhawan to keep his face
clean which was seriously
damaged by campaign of RTI
Activists and exposing his true
character of dalali in public domain. Then, he started and adopted various tricks
to win over Govt. to get Rajya
Sabha ticket and used his all strength
and contact and connection to influence
Chief Minister. But he failed
to achieve it. Odisha
development Conclave-2016 was
for the purpose of getting Rajya Sabha ticket in name
of development of Odisha and NGO Fraternity. It was organized to develop his image and profile so that the
political leadership will be
attracted and influenced to give him
ticket for Rajya Sabha. He was highly
unhappy when Sri A.V.Swamy got Rajya Sabha ticket. My friends of NGO sector must
understand selfish
character of Jagadanand and his ill-motive
behind organizing any programme. When
Sri Achyut Samant and Sri Soumya
Ranjan Patnaik got Rajya sabha ticket,
his last hope to get Raj sabha ticket dashed out and got terribly
disturbed.
Having lost faith on BJD, he
has very cunningly and
calculatedly moved to Dharmendra Pradhan, face of BJP , party in power in centre. As he knows
dirty trick of influencing
others for his vested interest,
he somehow has succeeded
in influencing Dharmendra bhai
to get benefit or bargain
with BJD for Rajya sabha and
projects for CYSD in name
of NGO sector. This
Conclave-2018 is nothing for development of our beloved state but
for his vested interest. That’s why his name
is only discussed in conclave as
if he is
development messiah.
I appeal all my friends in
voluntary sector and NGO chiefs to be cautious and careful
about such character which is detrimental to the interest of the state.
My lone voice is just like an earthen lamp which dares to lighten
deep dark world. All of you may like or dislike. But I presented the fact-sheet from my experience while working in this sector for 23 years.
