BJD Leader Biplab Patro Hits Back at Allegations Over Late Surjya Narayan Patro’s Role in Haladiapadar Overbridge Design

“The bridge was constructed around 2012–13. My father passed away in September 2023. For 11 long years, while he was alive, active in public life, and constantly accessible to both leaders and the media, no one raised these questions”.

“Now that he is no longer here to respond, dragging his name into baseless speculation serves no purpose except to malign his legacy. If there were genuine concerns, why were they not raised when he was alive to answer them?”
