The Story in Brief
Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi praised disaster response teams for rescuing a pregnant woman from flood-hit Baleshwar district on Thursday. The woman from Bagirathipur village was safely taken to a hospital. Three deaths have been reported so far in the ongoing floods in north Odisha.
Revenue minister Suresh Pujari rejected allegations by the Opposition BJD of the state government's lack of preparedness. BJD spokesperson Lenin Mohanty said the BJP government abandoned the previous regime's 'zero casualty' policy, leading to deaths despite weather warnings.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are using the tragedy for point-scoring: the BJD claims the BJP government ignored warnings, while the BJP holds up a single rescue as proof of commitment. The real test is not press releases but whether the death toll rises as flood waters recede. The concrete number to watch is the final casualty count in this season's floods.
