Bhubaneswar: In the middle of Jan Ashirwad Yatra, BJP, a tweet by education Minister Odisha Arun Sahoo triggered a sharp reaction from the Safron Party leaders on Friday.
Sahoo, in a post, wrote that forcing someone to bless without serving them and getting a person’s blessing without asking him by working without stopping is a different thing.
Odisha people know the difference.
While Sahoo did not mention anyone, the BJP leaders interpreted him as an excavation of Union Dharmendra Pradhan and Ashwini Vaishnaw ministers who were looking for human blessings and God Jagannath for the development of Odisha on Thursday even when the ministers started Jan Ashirwad Yatra.
Dharmendra has tweeted photos of the two ministers and said President BJP Samir Mohanty lay face down in front of Jagannath’s temple.
“With God’s blessings, let everyone remain happy and peaceful,” he wrote.
Responding to Sahoo’s Tweet, Secretary BJP State Tankadhar Tripathy wrote again, “It seems that the Minister of Education Arun Sahoo did not know that no one could force anyone to give blessings.
People can bless those who mix with them, become part of them in sadness and Their happiness.
Someone can’t get this if it’s closed in a room.
“LEKHASHREE BJP leader Samantsinghar said it did not deserve a minister to bend so low.
“How can someone make fun of anyone who is looking for God’s blessings jagannath?” he says.
Many BJP leaders also tweeted photos “controversial” from Sahoo spent a while relaxing with the priest part of the Jagannath Temple in Puri when he was the Minister of Law.
Sahoo, when contacted, refused to give further comments about his tweet.
While Dharmendra attended many laying the laying of the inaugural stone and the foundation relating to the Ministry of Education, Vaishnaw toured Raygada and Coraput regencies after the overnight train trip from Bhubaneswar to Rayaganada.
