Bhubaneswar: An opposition BJD MLA Debi Ranjan Tripathy has alleged that the colour of a statue of former Odisha chief minister Biju Patnaik has been changed in Cuttack.
He raised the issue during Zero Hour in the Assembly claiming that that the colour of Patnaik’s statue located near Mangala Mandir Chhak was changed from green to golden yellow.
“The government needs to reply who changed it and why,” the lawmaker said.
Tripathy said the Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC), too, has no knowledge regarding the matter.
In March, unidentified miscreants had reportedly vandalised a statue of Patnaik at Umar village in Mahanga area of Cuttack.
