October 27, 2010 4:15:07 AM PNS | NABARANGPUR After the arrest of Dabugaon MLA Bhujabal Majhi on Sunday for allegedly beating up Kosagumuda BDO and later admitted at the District Headquartres Hospital (DHH) after receiving complaints of chest pain, Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh visited Nabarangpur on Monday and interacted with Majhi, State Youth Congress president and local MP Pradeep Majhi and Congress leaders of the district at the DHH here. After discussion, Singh said that it was most unfortunate that the Kosagumuda BDO ignored the MLA during the inauguration of SHG Conference Hall building at Taragaon. As per rules, the local MP, MLAs, ZP president and block chairman, who are the elected representatives, should be invited and their names should be mentioned in the plaques during the inauguration, Singh asserted. MP Majhi alleged that the officials of the district were acting like the office-bearers of the ruling BJD even though Nabarangpur, Malkangiri and Koraput Collectors have already been requested on October 10 to issue instructions not to ignore the public representatives during government functions who play a key role in implementing the policies and programmes of the Government and overall development of the areas. Among others PCC vice-president Sadan Nayak, former Minister Parama Pujari, former Minister Habibulla Khan, Junagada MLA Dusmant Nayak, ZP president Bhagirathi Nayak, PCC secretary Muna Tripathy, district youth Congress president Bhima Harijan were present.
