Prime Minister Narendra Modi will felicitate the kins of the Odia freedom fighters of the Paika rebellion, an armed uprising against the Britishers in 1817. Even though the programme will be held in Raj Bhawan, BJP has already played its card to take political mileage out of it.

List-making, bearing the names of the kins, is already underway. Raghu Dibakar, Laxman Nayak, Chakhi Khuntia, Bauxi Jagabandhu, Veer Surendra Sai, Nirmal Munda and others names have been included in the list.
