Former chief minister and BJD president Naveen Patnaik on Saturday lashed out at the BJP government for the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
“We can all see how the law and order situation in the state has declined from the initial period of the government with the incident of Governor’s son at Puri. Recently, an army major and his fiancee were harassed in a violent manner at a major police station in the capital city. This is not a good record,” he said during a conversation with editorial director of The New Indian Express during the Odisha Literary Festival here.
