In what looks like an ugly turn in the most-talked-about campaign for bypoll in Odisha’s Bijepur, two slippers were thrown at Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday. The CM, who is a top campaigner, was delivering his speech for the bypoll when the incident happened. The first slipper had hit one of his personal securities who warded off the second one too.
