Pratap Chandra Sarangi: Agitator to victim & a brush with Gandhi
New Indian ExpressA mid the melee and uproar at Makar Dwar of Parliament, the image of Pratap Chandra Sarangi, frail and bloodied, with a handkerchief pressed against his forehead, evoked a strange sense of irony. As part of the VHP, Bajrang Dal, and Durga Vahini agitation, Sarangi was among the 62 arrested after a mob stormed the Odisha Assembly, vandalising property, attacking chambers of then chief minister Naveen Patnaik and ministers, and clashing with security personnel. From leading aggressive agitations to now being an unintended victim of one, Sarangi’s journey has been a tumultuous one, marked by both fierce ideological commitment and controversial stances. Often touted as ‘Odisha’s Modi’ for sharing the prime minister’s humble beginning, austere living, firebrand politics and strong oratory, Sarangi, also a bachelor, has made his way up from the dusty village of Gopinathpur in Balasore to the halls of Parliament as a two-time MP.
