Shah, sharing dais with BJD president and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, also said that with a number of people from Odisha heading some top offices of the country, the state has been experiencing "Achhe Din" (good times).
Pressing for the demand for special category state (SCS) status for Odisha, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Sunday at the NITI Aayog Governing Council meeting requested the Central government to make Odisha a special focus state and provide funds for disaster proofing as the state gets frequently impacted by natural calamities.
The Chief Minister had on July 28 raised a similar demand during a meeting with the chairman of the NITI Aayog Suman Bery and member VK Paul at the Naveen Nivas in Bhubaneswar. He had stressed that the SCS status is very important for Odisha which faces natural disasters like cyclones and floods every year, resulting in massive damage to state infrastructure.
