Bhubaneshwar, Mar 1: Hundreds of BJP Yuva Morcha activists were protesting against the government at Mahatma Gandhi Marg in front of the Odisha State Assembly on Tuesday night when a scuffle broke out between the protesters and police personnel after they were stopped.
Triggered by the recent killing of the state's Health Minister Naba Das, the youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party was protesting against the deteriorating law and order situation in Odisha, during which they also raised slogans against the CM Naveen Patnaik-led BJD government.
Around 21 police personnel were injured during protests and police have arrested 22 BJYM workers and sent them to judicial custody.
Odisha is suffering at the hands of BJD Govt & its failure to maintain law & order.

Following this, BJP Yuva Morcha activists reached Capital Police Station premises and staged a protest demanding the removal of false charges against BJP activists and their release. They also demanded the arrest of unknown people, who they claimed, turned a peaceful protest into violence.
In a video shared by the BJYM, Odisha Police is seen manhandling and lathi-charging the activists of the BJYM. Taking to Twitter, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya said that BJYM will protest against the Odisha Police at the Capital Police Station in Bhubaneswar 'through the night'."
"Police brutality against BJYM Karyakartas is hitting a new low in Odisha. Having manhandled our activists this morning during the protest, police are now filing draconian cases & illegally arresting them. BJYM will protest through the night at Capital Police Station, Bhubaneswar," Surya tweeted.
