There is no letup in waiving black flags to Naveen Patnaik’s Ministers since the Union Ministers were attacked by BJD members in Bargarh on June 23.
On Wednesday, a group of BJP workers showed black flags to Steel and Mines Minister Prafulla Kumar Mallick at Jaleswar in Baleswar district.
Besides waving black flags, the saffron party workers shouted anti-BJD slogans and protested the visit of the Minister to the district.
As many as 40 BJP workers were detained by police after the incident, sources said.
The incident came a day after BJP workers had waived black flags at Higher Education Minister Pradeep Panigrahy and Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Sanjay Dasburma in Ganjam district.
A similar incident had also taken place on Monday as Health Minister Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak was shown black flags by BJP workers when he was on a visit to the Baleswar District Headquarters Hospital to take stock of the diarrhoea situation.
