The ruling Biju Janata Dal’s obsession to use the “anti-Centre” sentiment as a tool to stick to power still has not turned pale. It appears as intense as it was in 1997, the year it was formed.
The party on Sunday launched a 10-day Jana Sampark Yatra from Bhubaneswar to highlight the “Central negligence” to the state.
The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president and chief minister, Naveen Patnaik, while flagging off the rally at Baya Baba Math lane here, asked the party workers to tell the people during the yatra about the “inadequate” support and “discriminatory” behaviour of the UPA government at the Centre.

Four police personnel, including the SHO of the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Indore, have been line-attached after a 12-year old rag-picker suffered panic attacks and phobia since he was forced by a policeman on duty to collect the severed body parts of a person run over by a train at the Indore railway station earlier last week.
GRP SHO P.S. Sandhu and three others, including an ASI, a sub-inspector and a head constable, have been line-attached. The rag-picker, 12-year-old Firoz, who was forced to collect the severed head and body parts of a person run over by a train, is now being treated by psychiatrists at a local hospital.
