The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|April 16, 2025
STATUE of former chief minister Biju Patnaik which was set on fire in Balangir district's Patnagarh snowballed into a raging political controversy on Tuesday.
The incident occurred around 6 am when the statue of the legendary leader located near Parsuram Chhak of the town was found engulfed in flames.
Patnagarh police rushed to the spot and extinguished the fire. It also detained a person, identified as Jugal Kishore Sahu. Sahu was apparently sighted near the statue when it went up in flames.
The act of arson fuelled a huge controversy with the opposition BJD training its gun at the BJP government, terming the incident a conspiracy. The saffron party, on its part, condemned the incident and said it has the highest regard for Biju Babu.
