Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha member from Bhubaneswar Aparajita Sarangi on Saturday alleged that people’s mandate to govern Odisha has been “hijacked by a bureaucrat”, who has made elected representative of Biju Janata Dal (BJD) helpless.
Addressing a press conference here, Ms. Sarangi, BJP’s national spokesperson, said, “We are witnessing a strange and incredible governance system in Odisha. People have started to question whether the government is run by the persons they had voted or by a secretary-level official who has cunningly hijacked the entire administration.”
