PNS

While stepping up more pressure on the State Government on the Mamita murder case, the BJP on Saturday announced that from November 8, it would start a State-wide campaign for social boycott to the Chief Minister.

The party decided to stage protests before all blocks, NACs, Municipalities, district headquarters on the day of the CM’s visit to  Kalahandi and party workers would burn effigies of the CM and Ministers Dibya Shankar Mishra and Pratap Jena.

Party general secretary Prithiviraj Hraichndan said it has also been a year since the gruesome murder of Mamita happened, but to the utter dismay of all Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has maintained stoic silence on the issue. Rather, his Government machinery is protecting him.

He announced that the BJP would continue its campaign until the State Government does justice to Mamita’s family.

The party ‘s protest against the CM’s Kalahandi visit would be led by local MP Basanta Panda, former State president KV Singh Deo and Bargarh MP Suiresh Pujari, he said.
