BJD workers also burnt an effigy of Leader of Opposition Mishra and demanded an unconditional apology from him apart from seeking his resignation.

Similarly, Congress’ students wing — National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) — led by its President Itish Pradhan held a demonstration at the same place and burnt an effigy of Naveen Patnaik. They went on to block the road for a while demanding the Chief Minister to answer Mishra’s questions.
