Congress youth wing workers hurled eggs at Union Minister Bishweswar Tudu’s car by which he was travelling to Naugaon on Tuesday to attend a programme organised by the Bhagaban Das Memorial Trust.
The Congress supporters protested the Union Government’s act of hiking the prices of fuel oil, cooking gas and other essential commodities and no action against Union Minister Ajaya Mishra on farmers’ massacre in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh and demanded action against film star Kangana Renaut for her statements about Indian Independence. Police escorting Tudu controlled the situation. No arrest was made.Earlier, Tudu had been given a warm welcome by BJP district leaders at Gandhi Chhak here. Party district president Satyabrata Mohapatra, ex-MP Bibhu Prasad Tarai, Sampad Swain and women wing head Krishna Mohanty were present.
