Bhubaneswar: Three-time BJP MLA from Keonjhar and party’s chief whip Mohan Charan Majhi is homeless in the state capital.
The senior MLA, who enjoys enough clout in the State Assembly by virtue of his position, has claimed he is being forced to make a living out of the capital’s footpath.
Talking to news agency ANI, Majhi alleged that the government has failed to provide him an accommodation even one month after assuming office.
“I stay on the footpath and work from there due to non-allotment of a house even after a month of taking oath as a member of the Odisha Assembly. I have not even been allotted a room in the state guest house,” he alleged.
Majhi said he and some of the other MLAs have taken up the matter with the Assembly Speaker, Surya Narayan Patro, who has assured them to end their sufferings soon.
“Once my Personal Assistant was assaulted and my files were also looted. I have requested for security and a residential quarter,” he added.
