BJP, Congress step up agitation demanding ouster of Odisha Minister

The Hindu  

Both the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress on Tuesday stepped up their agitation across the State demanding the ouster of Odisha Law Minister Pratap Jena, who was named in the police complaint pertaining to the murder of two BJP leaders in Cuttack district. Notwithstanding the arrest of four accused in the murder case, the two principal Opposition parties intensified their stir alleging that the ruling Biju Janata Dal was resorting to violence to silence political opponents. Members of BJP’s youth wing staged demonstrations in front of all police stations in the State and burnt effigies of the State Law Minister. “Odisha BJP is indulging in cheap politics and politicising incidents of crime knowing fully well that the BJD government has always taken the strictest action against criminals,” said BJD spokesperson Sulata Deo.
