KALINGA WOULD RISE AGAIN

Bikash Choudhury

“The Vision has to be as wide as the detail is narrow and the will as strong as the working arm” said the doyen and pioneer of Indian hoteleering; non other than late M.S.Oberoi in his biography “dares to dream”. Three time Odisha Chief Minister, Sri Naveen Patnaik has time and again said “he has no ambition to become Prime Minister of Country and he would spend rest of his life in Odisha in office or out of office” which is as modest as his life style and for which he is admired across the political spectrum in the country. But, recently L.K.Advani in his blog post predicted about a Non-Congress & Non-BJP Prime Minister in 2013/14. I added; the PM next should be some one who would rise above the ‘Political Fault Lines’ and take bold decisions out of his own wisdom. May be, L.K. Advani would have Mr. Naveen Patnaik in mind; though, he himself a potential candidate in the race to 7 Race Course. And, many commentators & experts in the country and abroad believe 2012-2020 a very good window of opportunity for India to grow much faster economically and politically; not only in South Asia but across the World. That some how coincide with vision of Biju Babu for Odisha in 21^st century to recapture the history of Kalinga. I see a distinct possibility, Odisha not only leading the Country but, the World under the bold and dynamic Leadership of Sri Naveen Patnaik. Odisha is destined to provide the “thought leadership” to the country and the World in this century.

        Biju Janata Dal could position itself favorably by unveiling a brand new vision for the country; that is, “Political Unity, High Economic Growth with Regional Political Consolidation followed by Global outreach on the premise of Peace & Development with Civilization Co-operation”

• Political Unity: Building consensus on National goal

• High Economic Growth: Contraction of Govt., Free Enterprise and pursuing a policy of Innovation-Excellence-Enterprise

• Regional Political Consolidation: Socio-Economic-Political Unity & Military               Co-Operation between undivided India & South Asia

• Global Outreach: Pursuing Peace & Development through Global Defense Contraction with Religious understanding and racial unity

The first step could be to welcome back Leaders of merit & mass base (old Biju loyalist) and deploy them for a National push. Those leaders can be counted with fingers;            Pyari Mohan Mohapatra, Bijaya Mohapatra, Dilip Ray and Srikanta Jena. The second step would be to create organizational base for BJD at those places where a seizable Odia population live across the country; like Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Bagalore, Surat, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Mumbai; just to hype the profile of the party a notch higher. The rest would fall in place over a period of time and "Kalinga would rise again". Any doubt? No.
