I think Odisha lost its bargaining power by voting them. (If political posts are not allowed you can delete this.

Once again I am feeling like odisha is being ignored by central government. Puri Airport project has been stalled. Coastal highway project has been delayed and this is not even greenfield project. Metro project is being delayed. All they're doing is giving lolipop to Odias and industrialising other states. Gujarat will have bullet trains when we don't even have metro. They will get billions of Funding from central government to host Olympics in Gujarat. They are building new cities in Gujarat and Andhra. And creating huge gap between us and them. I feel like we can't catch up anymore. They have gone far away. Odisha will remain deurbanised and our future generations will also have to go to their states for Jobs. It is the bitter truth. ( Sorry for my poor English and I'm not talking on behalf of any political party like bjd congres. I'm talking about this as an Odia)
