Bhubaneswar, Oct. 22 -- Leader of Opposition in Odisha Legislative Assembly, Pradipta Kumar Naik has written to Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik urging the latter to rename Janpath in Bhubaneswar.

Naik has requested Patnaik to rename the road from Vani Vihar Square to Rajmahal Square as 'Jayee Rajguru Janpath'.

"Jayee Rajguru is a hero not only for Odisha, but also for the entire country. I think there can be no better tribute to him than naming a road in the state capital Bhubaneswar after him. I request you to rename the current Janpath Road (Vani Vihar Square-Rajmahal Square ) as "Jayee Rajguru Janpath" so that people of Odisha and outsiders who are coming to Odisha will know about Jayee Rajguru," Naik said in the letter.
