Bhubaneswar: April 16 : After Friday’s ‘rat’ remark by senior BJD leader Tathagat Satpathy aimimg Dasburma, Rajya Sabha MP Pyarimohan Mohapatra referred to the minister as a ‘fish’ on Saturday. Day by day, the issue is gaining momentum.
“I will not tell anything against either Sanjay Dasburma or anybody else. Because, there are a lot of big fishes in it (chit fund scam). If the name of Sanjay has surfaced, then he is a small fish,” Mohapatra told media persons here referring to the minister’s role in the multi thousand crore chit fund scam in the State as very small.
When asked about his close relationship with Dasburma in the past, he retorted; “I have good relations with everybody in the BJD. I have not soured my relationship with anybody from my side.”
Notably, senior party leaders, including Bhartruhari Mahatab, Nagendra Pradhan and Damodar Rout, had also raised fingers at the minister with the Cuttack MP appearing to agree with the Opposition demand for Dasburma to resign on moral grounds.
