Odisha development Conclave and Jagadanand Mohanty


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.
