Jaynarayan Mishra on Wednesday stirred controversy by allegedly pushing a woman police officer during a BJP protest in Sambalpur.
The women's wing of the ruling BJD in Odisha staged a dharna here on Thursday demanding the removal of Jaynarayan Mishra from the post of the Leader of Opposition for allegedly misbehaving with a woman police officer in Sambalpur.
Mr Mishra on Wednesday stirred controversy by allegedly pushing a woman police officer during a BJP protest in Sambalpur.
The incident took place in front of the district collector's office, as part of the party's statewide stir on "worsening" law and order.
The BJP too staged a dharna near Raj Bhavan, claiming that there was a bid to eliminate Mr Mishra, also the BJP MLA from Sambalpur, for criticising the state government in connection with the assassination of ex-minister Naba Kishore Das.
