Fumed over the BMC authorities’ “partial” attitude in taking action for violations of Covid-19 guidelines, Bhubaneswar BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi on Monday wrote to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik posing several questions.
While she praised the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) for quick action by sealing her office on the ground of violations of Covid-19 rules, she questioned the BMC’s selective action to enforce the norms even as the guidelines have been reportedly violated by BJD leaders frequently on several occasions, including Pipili MLA Pradeep Maharathy’s funeral event in Puri. “I have come across innumerable instances of violation of Covid-19 regulations at the BJD party headquarters as well as by Ministers, MLAs and party workers.
While no action has been initiated against such violations, the sealing of my office that too without detection of a single Covid positive case in my office or among my supporters who were present in the office, does deserve answers from your Government,” Sarangi wrote to the CM.
