Odisha CM Mohan Majhi came down heavily on the previous BJD government during a special programme organised at Barchana in Jajpur district and announced a probe into the mysterious death of Dharmasala Panchayat Executive Officer (PEO) Smitarani Biswal.
Addressing the gathering during the party’s membership drive, CM Mohan Majhi lambasted the previous Naveen Patnaik-led BJD government for massive irregularities in various developmental work. He said, “The previous government was involved in large-scale irregularities. Even there is no proper road connectivity to the villages.”
Raising the mysterious death of lady PEO Smitarani Biswal, the CM announced a detailed probe into the matter and said, “The BJD blows ‘respect to women’ trumpet but we have seen what had happened in the last two-three years. Dharmasala PEO was brutally murdered. Those who were blowing the ‘respect to women’ trumpet murdered the PEO. Instead of giving justice to the victim's family, the local leaders were shielded."

Responding to CM Majhi’s jibe, BJD Rajya Sabha MP Sulata Deo said, “In 2016, there were 335 habitants in Nagada and now the number has gone up to 687 in 2024. Why the CM is groping in the dark? Why is he not revealing the three names? It would be better if the CM comes with names and evidence.”
