Bhubaneswar: Members of Brahmana Mahasabha gherao BJD leader Damodar
Rout’s residence over alleged his casteist remarks against Brahmin
community.
Several agitators were detained by police when they attempted to barge
into Rout’s house demanding an apology from him and his immediate
removal from the party.
Adequate police personnel were deployed at the spot to prevent any
untoward incident.
On Friday, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had announced Rout’s removal
from the post of the BJD’s vice president and also from the
responsibility of the party’s observer in Dhenkanal district.
Rout was dismissed from the ministry the previous day over his
statement at a meeting in Malkangiri district on December 17 that
tribals could not be seen begging in the state, but Brahmins could be
spotted begging at some places.
