He told reporters that his life's purpose has been to serve people since he was a small child. In addition to Biju Patnaik, Harekrushna Mahtab, Nilamani Routray, J Patnaik, Nandini Satpathy, and Naveen Patnaik, I have also worked with them. We have built 42 high schools, 13 colleges, and 10 hospitals in Jatni and Bhubaneswar with the aid of my party and followers, he claimed.
He said, "As a sports enthusiast, I have over the years supplied playgrounds and sporting amenities to young people as well as encouragement."

Regarding his popularity even among political competitors, Routray claimed he did not view them as adversaries but rather as colleagues in the political sphere. You can see that a large number of BJD legislators and leaders have come to wish me. I do not harbour any political animosity. Despite my ideological differences, I appreciate working with leaders from all parties for the benefit of the people, he remarked.
Routray urged the young people not to succumb to any form of intoxication in his speech to them that day. "Pay attention to your future and serving your country. The time is now to pursue education and a career. Don't waste it by abusing alcohol and drugs, he counselled.
