Two Odisha ministers today experienced tough times as black flags were shown and government vehicles blocked by Congress activists in separate areas of the state.
Law Minister Arun Sahoo was shown black flags by Congress activists in Kalahandi district demanding government college status to the Sardar Rajas Medical College.
Shoo was in Kalahandi to participate in the ruling BJD's 'Jan Sampark Padyatra.'
Meanwhile, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Pension and Public Grievance Minister Jogendra Behera also faced protest by Congress workers over alleged bad health infrastructure in the Nudapda district.
The agitators also blocked minister's vehicle for "neglecting" the drought-like situation in the district.
