BJD has demanded special category status for Odisha…The second issue is the non-revision of coal royalty for the state of Odisha…We raised the issue about the declining central transfer of funds and the need to work towards it…No action has been taken against the Governor of Odisha’s son who had beaten a Raj Bhawan staffer is extremely shocking. The rule of law is not being followed by the state of Odisha and its government”.
