The actual reason for this attack is still not known, but the BJP suspects it as a political rivalry. BJP is suspecting BJD\u2019s involvement in this murder. After the incident, the police instantly sealed the entire Khordha town and started investigating by putting raids at various places in the town to catch the two assailants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police said they are investigating the murder but the\nreason can be related to the upcoming elections or fallout of past rivalry. They\nhave assigned this case to a special team, quick and strong actions are being\nexpected by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kalu Khandayatra who was standing near Manguli Jena said, he could not see the faces of the assailants, the one who fired was a thin man; both of them had covered their faces with helmets; they fired two rounds of bullets on Manguli Jena and one round him but the bullet just passed by his hands without hurting him. He says that actually their target was he himself but the assailants fired on Manguli. He is suspecting BJD\u2019s hands in this murder. He said BJD has shown another instance of their \u2018Gunda Raaj\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this incident, the BJP workers on Monday called for a 6 hours bandh in Khordha between 8 am to 2 pm. All the shops were closed and no vehicles were running.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deteriorating law and order\nsituation in the State has reached an all-time low. There was a rape and murder\nof a four-year-old girl child in Jatni on Saturday and now this ghastly murder\nin Khordha.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik said, \u201cThere is no place for violence in democracy. I condemn the violence in Khordha and express my condolences to the bereaved family members. I request the Election Commission to direct State police to take the matter seriously and initiate strong action so that a heinous crime like this does not happen again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Union Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan slammed this incident and said, \u201cWe have to respond to his death not by the bullet, but by ballot.
