Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said, “Various fairs are organized on the occasion of Durga Puja festival by Maa Durgati Nashini Sangh in Jhumpura in our Keonjhar district. Gift coupons are given to the people by the committee through which they can participate in cultural programs. I also got this coupon and won a bicycle from it. This bicycle was given to a child from our village Raikala, Yogeshwar Naik, whose father Died during Corona. He is studying now. This is a small thing, but there are many children who have lost their parents. We keep helping them. Today this opportunity came, so I thought that giving it to a poor child would be beneficial for him. This is a message of help for everyone.”
The incident occurred on the auspicious occasion of Durga Puja, when the state government had provided financial assistance of over Rs 7 crore to the puja committees. This work of the Chief Minister has become very popular in the tribal dominated Keonjhar district. Raikala village, where Majhi was born, is the center of the tribal community.

A villager said that CM Saheb proved that service can be done even after coming down from the height of the post.
