Eggs, Tomatoes, and Protests: Youth Congress Takes on Odisha CM
- Odisha Youth Congress activists protested on Wednesday in Bhubaneswar, clashing with police and throwing eggs and tomatoes at CM Mohan Charan Majhi's residence.
- The protest followed a series of violent incidents, including a gang rape on June 15 and assaults on Dalits, which critics say exposed worsening law and order under Majhi's BJP government.
- BJD youth and student wings and Congress leaders joined widespread demonstrations demanding justice for victims and action against rising gender violence and attacks on minorities.
- More than 50 protesters were detained but released later, while state BJP youth leader Avilash Panda defended government efforts amid accusations that criminals act with impunity and support systems have weakened.
- The protests and criticism suggest that unless the government implements concrete security and justice measures, political agitation over deteriorating safety in Odisha is likely to intensify.
