On Friday, admirers of Biju Patnaik launched the 'Odisha Nagarik Manch' (ONM) to honor the late leader's ideology and legacy. Leaders, who had once worked closely with Patnaik, gathered under this new platform to commemorate his 29th death anniversary.
Significant figures like Rajya Sabha MP Dilip Ray and former ministers participate in ONM, claiming to represent Patnaik's true legacy. The assembly featured notable political personalities and figures from diverse societal backgrounds, emphasizing the inclusive nature of Patnaik's vision.
