Addressing a two-day state-level conference of CDOs and BDOs at Lok Seva Bhawan here, Majhi said in his government only efficiency counts and not political loyalty. "Don't take my simplicity as my weakness," he stated.

The chief minister said the success of the government depends on the efficient functioning of blocks. If the blocks work efficiently and people benefit from various schemes, it will reflect the government's effectiveness.
