Congress State President Slams Odisha Govt Over Balasore Case, Demands CM Majhi’s Resignation
In a sharp political escalation, the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) President has come down heavily on the BJP-led state government over the recent Balasore incident, demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
🗣️ Congress Allegations:
The OPCC President accused the Odisha government of complete administrative failure in handling the Balasore case (details of which are yet to be fully disclosed).
He further claimed that law and order has collapsed under the new BJP regime and that the people of Odisha are “losing faith in governance just weeks after the new government took office.”
The Congress leader called for a judicial probe into the matter, urging the Governor to intervene.
📍 Background: Though full details of the Balasore incident are still emerging, early reports suggest serious lapses involving either a law enforcement action, custodial incident, or public safety failure. Political pressure is now mounting on the recently appointed Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, the first tribal CM of Odisha.
🧾 Congress Statement Highlights:
> “What happened in Balasore is not just a local issue; it reflects the dangerous breakdown of governance under BJP rule. CM Majhi must take moral responsibility and step down.”
🔍 State Government’s Response:
So far, the Odisha government has not issued an official reply to the Congress allegations. However, sources indicate that an internal review of the Balasore case is underway.
