Asserting that there was nothing
On Telanagna government's decision to pass a resolution in the assembly against CAA, Patra said, "we will make him (Chandrasekhar Rao) understand by showing him all the relevant documents in a democratic manner."
On the protests against CAA, he said, "this CAA we are discussing is the ninth amendment. There has never been ruckus earlier, but now there is and CAA is not the issue.. the fight going on now is agenda-driven."
On the killing of a policeman and an IB officer during violence in Delhi, Patra said, "the way they (protesters) are acting against the country's police, para-military force, working against country's system they are not protesters."
