Alleging the BJD Government’s involvement in the mining scam and demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, the Congress Party is holding a 12-hour ‘Hartal’ or ‘Odisha Bandh’ across the state, but spared Bhubaneswar due to the BMC polls to be held tomorrow.
In Bhubaneswar, the party just held a symbolic protest and the normal life was not affected. The Congress has threatened to intensify the agitation if the Chief Minister does not step down.
