“Without furnishing the required information, the CM is deliberately misleading the people of Odisha by writing letters to the Central government. However, he is now exposed after the Union Law minister’s remark in Lok Sabha today,” said Mishra.

“The Deputy speaker has informed about the privilege motion and the Speaker has to take a call on the matter,” said BJD spokesperson, Samir Dash in reply.
