He believes that smart urbanisation of Odisha and such transformation are going to help to everyone.
Recently, he visited Odisha and posted the photos of some incredible work from the state on social media platform X.
He wrote, “During recent visit to Odisha delighted to see the State making rapid strides in urban rejuvenation. The EKAMRA project for the development of the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar, the renovation of the Taladanda Canal, and the ABADHA scheme for upgrading Puri’s infrastructure will have huge multiplier impact, enhance quality of lives of citizens, green vast areas and have a huge demonstration impact.”

Now, netizens are also supporting his statement and praising the work as well.
In the millennium city #Cuttack , the transformation is complete. Unbelievable in fact, looking to its geographical area, sandwiched between two rivers.
