BHUBANESWAR: In a significant development on Wednesday, a breach of privilege notice moved against Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and Tusharkanti Behera, Minister of State (Home) by senior Congress MLA from Balangir, Narasingha Mishra, demanding action against Patanik and Behera.
The CM Patnaik through the MoS (Home) Behera, has intentionally misled the House to escape from the criticism of the Opposition, Congress veteran Mishra said in the letter to the Secretary of the Odisha Legislative Assembly.
