BJP MLAs stage dharna against minister's comments

Demanding apology from Odisha's Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare minister Sanjay Dasburma who allegedly made certain remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP MLAs today staged a dharna in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Odisha Assembly premises here.

They alleged that Dasburma during a debate on the alleged central negligence towards Odisha on December 3, made certain objectionable remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Dasburma must withdraw his statement against the Prime Minister and tender apology," said agitating BJP MLA Pradeep Purohit who led the sit-in.
