BJP leader and Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi has called on Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to stop being a ‘Dhritarashtra’ and instead follow ‘Rajdharma’. Sarangi accused some members of Mission Shakti of carrying stones, eggs, and black flags during her visit to the Athantra area in the Bhubaneswar Parliamentary segment. She stated that whenever she visits the area to meet people and listen to their issues, there are protests happening. This has been a continuous occurrence for the past three days.
In response to Sarangi’s allegations, BJD spokesperson Shreemayee Mishra expressed surprise and stated that Sarangi gets irritated whenever voters ask her anything. Mishra also pointed out that Sarangi is labeling these voters as hooligans, implying that they voted her into power.
