|April 16, 2025
A statue of former Odisha chief minister Biju Patnaik was on Tuesday set ablaze at Patnagarh town in Bolangir district, police said.
Apart from BJD, CPI and other Left parties, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi also condemned the incident.
"This can only be the handiwork of some lowly person, perhaps suffering from some mental illness,” Majhi said, adding that he has directed police to take stern action against persons involved in this incident and expose if there is any conspiracy behind it.
The chief minister said that one person has so far been arrested. He said the state government recognises the contributions of Biju Patnaik and gives due respect to all legendary figures, who made significant contributions to nation building.
Majhi in a statement also mentioned that his government recently held a state-level function in memory of Biju Patnaik on his birth anniversary on March 5.
