During a political showdown, BJP legislator Sidhant Mohapatra aimed a direct barb at BJD leader Raja Swain — saying, in effect, that if Swain’s forefathers were here, there were Bengalis; his own ancestors are here, so he exists. The remark has created a sharp political uproar and accusations of communal-tone targeting.

The incident raises heavy questions about the use of linguistic or regional identity in political rhetoric. Senior politicians and citizens are watching closely — many questioning the ethics and responsibility of public discourse.

This controversy again underscores how volatile identity politics can be, and puts a spotlight on the boundaries of acceptable debate in a diverse society.
