BHUBANESWAR: A team of BPL
beneficiaries and Congress workers led by Bhubaneswar District Congress
Committee president Suvendu Mohanty on Thursday lodged FIRs at the Capital
police station and the Kharvelnagar police station against Chief Minister
Naveen Patnaik and Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Pratap Keshari
Deb for reducing 10kg rice from the quota of BPL families.

leaders Umarani Patra, Manoranajan Dash, Rubi Kanungo and Santosh Mohanty went
with the complainants to the police station.
