Leader of Opposition (LoP) and senior BJP leader Jayanayaran Mishra on Saturday expressed resentment and claimed that he is not feeling safe both in Odisha Assembly and outside.
“We are being denied the right to speak and not given any protection in the House. Today, there is a protest outside my residence in Sambalpur. Recently, BJD workers had ransacked property inside Circuit House thinking that I was present there. I would have been killed had I been there,” said Mishra.
Mishra further said, “Today I am unsafe both inside Assembly and outside. I am not taking the Odisha government’s help and have returned security. If anything happens to me or my family, then Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik will be responsible.”
On the other hand, BJD MLA, Rajkishore Das said, “Odisha CM always says that “Every life is precious’ and everybody is safe here. It seems that the Leader of Opposition is making such statements only to hog the limelight in media as there is no reason for saying all such things.”
