Politics in Odisha has intensified over delays in the distribution of old-age, widow, and disability pensions. The opposition BJD has targeted the BJP government, citing administrative failure for the four-month delay. In response, BJP State President Manmohan Samal clarified that software updates are causing temporary issues for bank transfers. He assured that the problem would be resolved within 15 days and all pending dues would be paid simultaneously. https://odishasambad.in/politics-heats-up-over-pension-payment-glitch-bjd-targets-government-bjp-blames-software-update/ #creator program
