The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) criticized amendments to Odisha's 'Bikashita Gaon, Bikashita Odisha' program. Concerns include reduced funding per panchayat and increased MLA/District Collector influence in project proposals. The BJD and Congress allege the changes benefit BJP workers. The ruling party defends the changes, highlighting Gram Sabha involvement and adherence to the 2002 OPW Code.
