The Hindu
Opposition parties are mounting pressure on Mr. Patnaik to sack Mr. Mishra from the council of ministers alleging that he is close to the prime accused in the murder of the woman teacher
Amid protests by the BJP, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik visited Kalahandi on November 8 for a government programme and shared the dais with Minister Dibya Shankar Mishra, accused of patronising the prime accused in the murder of a woman teacher in the district last month.
Mr. Patnaik, who has been maintaining silence over the demand for the sacking of the Minister of State for Home, sent a clear message to opposition parties that he has faith in Mr. Mishra.
The BJP and the Congress criticised the Chief Minister saying it is clear that Mr. Patnaik is trying to protect Mr. Mishra and claimed it is a "black day" for Odisha politics.
