The 'Kalinga Rath', the iconic station wagon of former Odisha chief minister Biju Patnaik, has a unique place in the eastern state's political history. Throughout Biju Patnaik's four-decade public career, the 1958 Willys station wagon, bearing the number OR-U-5867, was his faithful steed, accompanying him on a whirlwind of political campaigns across the lengths and breadths of Odisha.
