BHAWANIPATNA: Allegations by Congress Lok Sabha member Bhakta Das against the State Government and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik over the proposed railway wagon factory at Narla, were refuted by Minister Puspendra Singhdeo and district BJD president Balabhadra Majhi.Das had earlier this week alleged that the State Government’s apathy towards the district was delaying the wagon factory project.Speaking to mediapersons on Monday, the BJD leaders accused Das of creating a flutter over the issue to come to  limelight in the wake of the Congress debacle in the panchayat polls.They said the State Government had categorically given the proposal for the wagon factory at Narla to the Railway Ministry before presentation of the 2012-13 Railway budget in Parliament.Besides, the Commerce and Transport Department of the State Government had already intimated the General Manager of ECoR about the two plots of land identified at Chapatkhanda and Regdimal/Bhatang for the proposed factory.The BJD leaders said the first proposal was sent on September 29, 2011 about the 90-acre Government land available for the factory at Chapatkhanda, only 6 km from Narla, and another on April 11 with proposal of 44.70 acres of Government land and 32.79-acre private land of a farmer available at Regidimal and Bhatang villages, hardly 1.5 km from Narla, for the factory.“This goes to prove that there was no negligence on the part of the State Government. The ball is already in the court of the Central Government, but they did not take the issue seriously,” said Singhdeo.
