Bhubaneswar: Hours after Chilika MLA Prasanta Kumar Jagadev rammed his car into a crowd injuring around 22 persons near Banpur block office in Khordha district on Saturday, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) condemned the act.
Addressing a presser, BJD spokesperson Sasmit Patra said, “There is no place for violence in democracy. Such an action of Jagadev is unfortunate and we strongly condemn it. We believe the police and administration will take stringent action against the accused.”
