Bhubaneswar: An MLA of Odisha has threatened to launch a hunger strike in protest against the state government’s failure to allocate official quarters to him in Bhubaneswar.
Speaking to the media on Monday, the Congress MLA from Bissam Cuttack in Rayagada district, Nilamadhab Hikaka said he was yet to be allocated a government quarters even six months after Assembly elections.
He claimed that an accommodation was allocated to him but a Rajya Sabha member of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) continued to stay there.
“The accommodation was earlier allocated to BJD MLA Jyoti Mitra. After the election, BJD’s Rajya Sabha member Munna Khan is staying in the quarters,” the MLA said.
He also alleged that though he had taken up the matter with the Assembly Speaker and several ministers, no step had been taken to allocate a government accommodation to him.
Since the government has remained indifferent to the issue so long, Hikaka said he would sit on a hunger strike in front of the Assembly.
