A boat carrying Union Minister Parshottam Rupala got stuck in Odisha's Chilika Lake for around two hours on January 7 evening.
While earlier it was suspected that the boat might have gotten stuck in a net laid by fishermen, the Union Minister later clarified that they lost their way in the blue lagoon.
The administration sent another vessel which rescued the Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying and took him to his destination. He was accompanied by BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra and a few other local party leaders while being stranded on the boat.
