TNI Bureau: While the Opposition continues to attack the Mohan Sarkar over senior MLA Jayanarayan Mishra’s controversial and outrageous remark on Utkal-Odisha-Koshal, the BJP seems to be on a defensive mode on this issue. Under fire, the party has now authorised Deputy CM KV Singh Deo to speak on this issue.
