Step 2: Remove fiscal hurdles of corporates through Acts (ironically passed by another tribal President) where the State loses revenue but profits accrue Step 3: Crush any protest with extra judicial methods. Use IT cell warriors to call the protestors Conversion mafia, Naxal, George Soros funded Commie Step 4: Transport raw materials mined here and use them in other State's plants.

Mining revenue collected by Odisha Govt: 2023-24 - Rs 50,980.11 crore 2024-25 - Rs 46,786.79 crore Revenue decreased by 4 thousand crores immediately in the year Mohan Majhi double engine sarkar comes to power. Understand the game. A tribal MLA whom noone had heard of was suddenly made CM of a State rich in minerals...Why? One year later, MMDR Amendment 2026 introduced and not one BJP leader raises objection...Why? Ofcourse mining should be done. But the mining companies need to pay the requisite compensation in terms of taxes and cesses. The approval of all stakeholders must be taken and the cultural rights of the current dwellers must be protected. Mining does not mean you will sell every forest land by force to your corporate masters.
