A political row has erupted after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey made remarks on former Odisha Chief Minister Biju Patnaik, prompting BJD MP Sasmit Patra to resign from the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and IT in protest. The row erupted after Dubey claimed that Patnaik served as a “link” between the US government, the CIA, and former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
