Bhubaneswar, July 7: Biju Janata Dal Youth wing Saturday slammed Union Minister Srikant Jena’s call for an open debate with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik as frivolous. “The people of Orissa know the character of the Union Minister very well. They will never forgive Jena who had betrayed Biju Patnaik earlier and now he is itching for an open debate with Chief Minister whose popularity is gaining nationally,” said Sanjay Das Burma, president, Youth BJD. Das Burma also alleged that the Union Government has always adopted step-motherly attitude towards Orissa. The kind of conspiracy in which Jena and the Union Government were involved, would be answered by the people at the right time, Das Burma added.
