The BJD on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Law minister Prithiviraj Harichandan in connection with the alleged mismanagement during Rath Yatra which resulted in the death of three devotees in a stampede near Gundicha temple.

BHUBANESWAR:

Stating that there was widespread chaos and mismanagement, party spokesperson Lenin Mohanty said the state government completely failed to manage the situation. "The congregation of more crowd cannot be an excuse for such type of unfortunate incident. The government should have been prepared to manage the crowd," he added.
