Dreams are being sold but not delivered in Odisha, said Dharmendra Pradhan, Union minister for petroleum and natural gas, while speaking on issues confronting the state at an event organised last week in Bhubaneswar by the Outlook group. In a conversation with Outlook editor Ruben Banerjee at the ‘OutlookSpeakOut: ReImagining Odisha’ summit, the Union minister regretted the slow pace of development in the state despite a media blitzkrieg that sought to portray a contrary image. “Grandiose ideas are being marketed, but implementation is zero,” Pradhan said.
