The Morning Standard

With the move fuelling outrage among the cross-sections, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi himself stepped in to reverse the decision. Making a statement on the issue, Majhi told mediapersons at Lok Seba Bhavan here, "I came to know about the renaming of the sports award from media. I had no prior information about the change of name. No such decision has been taken by the state government. The Biju Patnaik Sports Award will continue like before," he said.
