What happened: Odisha BJP leaders criticised Archita Sachin Rahar over an alleged Instagram post

The allegations state that the Instagram post showed Dharmendra Pradhan with the national flag in the background.

The allegations also claim the Instagram post connected Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation to “massive student protests” linked to the NEET leak.

Jagannath Pradhan, a BJP leader in Odisha, criticised the alleged Instagram post by using the phrase “son of the soil” for Dharmendra Pradhan and said Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation hurt BJP supporters.

Jagannath Pradhan demanded an apology to Odisha for adverse remarks attributed to Archita Sachin Rahar and demanded that Aparajita Sarangi’s family manage members who post publicly.
