After portfolio, Odisha ex-Minister loses ruling party’s post
Bhubaneswar, Dec 23 (IANS) A day after Damodar Rout was sacked from Odisha’s Council of Ministers, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday removed him as Vice President of the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD).
Earlier, Patnaik, who is BJP President, removed Rout as Minister over his casteist remarks against the Brahmins.
“Biju Janata Dal chief Naveen Patnaik is pleased to relieve Dr Damodar Rout from the post of party Vice President,” a BJD statement said.
Rout was also removed as party observer for Dhenkanal district with immediate effect.
Rout had invited severe criticism for allegedly speaking at a function in Malkangiri that tribals never begged even during adverse situations… but the Brahmins begged for alms if the situation arises.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
