It’s time for Naveen Patnaik to prove his ability as a mentor
When Naveen Patnaik entered Orissa politics a decade ago, leaving a rosy career as a writer, analysts discarded him as a person without any political experience. They also predicted that he would be a lame duck controlled by others. But he proved everybody wrong and became the Orissa CM twice, and that too consecutively. He also proved his mettle by kicking out 10 of his key ministers when they were charged with corruption. However, as the state goes for another round of assembly elections next year the question that emerges is, has Naveen proved himself as a good administrator? Does he have the true characteristics to lead the state to new heights? Will he be able to give a bright future to a poor state like Orissa?
Well, going through the series of past events, the answer definitely sounds negative. Be it the case of handling the recent violence that has erupted in the state after the murder of Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, a Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader or enabling POSCO to go ahead with its huge investment plans for the state. That’s not all. While health problems have been an area of concern for the state; it has become a huge market for counterfeit medicines.
