The Bhubaneswar district Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Monday staged a dharna in front of the Additional District Magistrate (ADM) office here as part of its Statewide protest programme in support of special category State (SCS) status to Odisha.
MlAs Bhagirathi Badajena, Bijay Mohanty and district president Babuli Mishra along with many party activists slammed the Union Government for its negligence and step motherly attitude towards the State and warned that the agitation would be intensified in future if the Congress-led UPA Government keeps delaying in giving SCS status to Odisha.
