Majhi makes U-turn on decision to rename Biju Patnaik Sport Award
The Morning Standard
|July 22, 2024
TWO days after renaming the Biju Patnaik Sports Award as 'Odisha Rajya Krida Samman', the state government made a total about-face on Sunday and clarified that no decision has been made to change the name of the prestigious award.

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.
