Perhaps the only issue is the name. Had it been Anshumam Mishra, Raghu Patnaik, or a Mohanty, Ollywood might have quietly found a rather convenient readymade script for Daman 2.
Sometimes, even a good story needs the “right” surname. 😉
Odisha celebrated a film called 'Daman' 4 years ago.
Daman revived Ollywood industry from its deathbed.
The film was about a Hero doctor who helped the tribals by curing them of their diseases and saving their lives, after being moved by their suffering.
Today it's the same story of another doctor - the tribals celebrate him and speak about his selfless service.
This doctor could have chosen to live a comfortable life in a Tier 1 city, still he chose service.
But this time two things are different - he sides with Odisha tribals who are against Bauxite mining in their area, participating in their protests ; and his religion.
And unfortunately today those are the things that make a difference.

AFTER ANDHRA, NOW BENGAL?
**Industries there. Jobs there.
Raw materials from ODISHA?**
With changes to the #MMDR framework, serious questions remain about Odisha’s control over its mineral resources and the growing role of the Centre in crucial decisions.
Can Odisha Govt clear the air on MMDR Amendment ?

Vedanta Group chairperson Anil Agarwal, who met Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari in Kolkata on Wednesday (October 28, 2026), said he was exploring investment opportunities worth around ₹70,000 crore in West Bengal, especially in sectors such as power generation and an alluminium smelter plant.

Interesting logic. Congress scores ZERO in today’s MLC elections conducted using ballot papers, and that is presented as evidence against its allegations, with PM Modi himself mocking them.
BJP loses Varanasi, Ayodhya, or a Sangh bastion Nagpur, and suddenly that too is presented as evidence against the ‘vote chori’ allegations. Heads I win, tails you lose. You cannot play both sides.😊

Odisha is so rich in minerals, yet why do we still lack industries to process our own resources? 😐
It feels like the British era exploitation is happening all over again. Our minerals should benefit our state and our people first.
Stop looting Odisha!!

Thank you @narendramodi @narendramodi_in @MohanMOdisha @BJP4India @BJP4Odisha @RSSorg @nitin_gadkari @NitinNabin @myogiadityanath For betraying the double-engine government and bowing down completely to the Andhra Chief Minister.
Dear @AmitShah and @AmitShahOffice, we will remember this forever.
First, the AMNS steel plant will set up its factory elsewhere, but poor Odisha citizens will suffer the raw material extraction and pollution; the same applies to JSW.
A 1.5-engine government is able to bend and control a double-engine government.
@blsanthosh @saudansinghbjp @SamalManmohan7 @dpradhanbjp @NALCO_India
“Industry or ହଳ ଲଙ୍ଗଳ” is a false binary. We should welcome industries, not surrender scrutiny.
One outrage I see is over the speculated NALCO proposal for an aluminium plant in Andhra Pradesh using bauxite from Odisha.
We protest when plants go outside Odisha, and we also protest when they come to Odisha.
Look at AP. They wholeheartedly welcome industries. But in Odisha, AC-room activists complain about the environment, water, and everything else.
Either we welcome industries or go back to farming(with ହଳ ଲଙ୍ଗଳ). We cannot just keep complaining about everything.
DON’T REPEAT THE BAUXITE STORY.
Bauxite from Odisha, Value addition elsewhere.
Data centers in Odisha. AI, GCC & high-value jobs elsewhere?
Not again !!
DC + GCC + AI + JOBS
ODISHA MUST GET THE FULL VALUE CHAIN.

Other states are sending contingents to Gujarat, but Odisha CM is apparently sending nearly 1,000 delegates on a special train. 😂 Rashtriya Ekta Diwas indeed.
#WATCH | Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi flagged-off a special train from New Bhubaneswar Railway Station to Gujarat, carrying around 1,000 people from Naxal-affected districts of Odisha to attend programmes at Ekta Nagar to mark the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and observe Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day).

REPOST | It’s not just Niyamgiri. As @Ayaskant_Das reports, bauxite-rich hills across the Eastern Ghats, including Sijimali and Kutrumali, face similar corporate pressures and stiff local resistance.

First Lada Sikaka. Then Dr Randall Sequeira & Laxman Naik. All arrested amid resistance to Vedanta-linked mining projects. In between, Vedanta chief meets Odisha CM Mohan Majhi. Coincidence? Allegedly a hit job on dissent? The sequence demands scrutiny. But who will scrutinise the powerful?

My piece on the arrest of Dr Randall Sequiera and Laxman Naik and the continuing crackdown on tribals opposing bauxite mining in Sijimali

“Tribals are Hindus.” Okay then treat them as your own beyond words. What I find difficult to understand is this: you claim them as your own, yet you do nothing for them. Then, when someone actually goes there, lives among them, works with them, and supports their lives and livelihoods, you immediately oppose or question that person. What kind of mindset is that?
Calling them “Hindus” may satisfy your ego, but will that feed a hungry family? Will it protect their land and forests? Will it give their children a better future? If you truly believe they are your brothers and sisters, show it through what you do for them. Otherwise, the label means very little.
This isn’t just for you, Dr. Manoj. It’s for everyone parroting “conversion”, “missionaries”,etc etc while doing precious little for the people they claim as their own.
Yeah why nt... @IndiawalaTrump will u moderate?
Hw do U lebel me as RW? Did I supprt BJP/Mudiji/Majhibabu?

Whatever the circumstances may be, the treatment meted out to the Habisyalis does not look good. They are elderly women who have travelled to Puri to observe their sacred vows and deserve dignity and respect.

“Maa Subhadra embodies the strength, dignity and identity of Odisha.”
Only this first time is correct everything else as much fake as Kukumina, Tapaswini, Sagarika, Laxmipriya, Prabhati and Suchitra names used here.
Pocket money can never be empowerment . Subhadra yojna is waste of public money.

Maa Subhadra embodies the strength, dignity and identity of Odisha. Through Subhadra Yojana, our government is empowering women with ₹50,000 over five years, giving them the confidence to become self-reliant and shape their own futures.
The inspiring journeys of women like Kukumina, Tapaswini, Sagarika, Laxmipriya, Prabhati and Suchitra reflect the true spirit of this initiative. Their empowerment is not just a promise fulfilled, but a step towards a stronger, self-reliant and prosperous Odisha.

That is the sole purpose of recent MMDR act . Mineral rich states can’t collect additional tax from mining companies as per state’s requirements rather they have to depend on central government’s approved rates.
Suganga Keshari, your language do not warrant any response from me. You are filthy. First learn how to communicate in public before expecting a meaningful discussion.
I have one question for you, though, if you can answer it honestly and without resorting to abusive language: if the doctor’s name were Ravi Prasad Mishra instead of Randall Sequeira, what allegations would you have made against him?
Hello Dr. @dashman207. As a doctor, Dr. R@ndu@ should be taking care of his patients in his clinic. Why was he showing his @ss to the tribals at Sijimali.
Another point: why did he choose Kalahandi, even though there are many other underdeveloped areas populated by tribal communities?
Lastly, hardly anyone wants to stay in the KBK region despite the government offering special KBK allowances and extra marks for PG aspirants. Why, then, was he so eager to come to Kalahandi? His intention is not to serve the tribals; rather, it is a cover for a hidden conspiracy. But you fail to see this because you are looking at it through political spectacles.
LoP Naveen Babu’s letter and all the “noise” thereafter were necessary. #Kotia needed that pressure. Issues this important cannot be allowed to slip into the background. We have seen what happened with #MMDR Amendment . 🙏
The current BJP government has finally woken up : Supreme Court approached, contempt case filed, Section 144 imposed, check-posts established, and senior officials deployed.
Kotia deserves all attention. Always.
#StandWithKotia #OdishaForKotia #UnitedForKotia
Odisha LoP Naveen Patnaik has written a letter to Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi regarding announcement of elections by Andhra Pradesh in the villages of Kotia.
Naveen Patnaik demands that the State Government must act decisively and take all necessary steps to safeguard Odisha's territorial integrity and uphold its sovereignty over Kotia.
