In a significant turn of events, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Odisha has declared its intention to form the state's next government. The announcement was made on Tuesday after a meeting of the BJP legislature party, which was closely monitored by Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and Bhupendra Yadav. The party unanimously elected Mohan Charan Majhi, a four-time MLA from Keonjhar assembly seat, as its leader and the Chief Minister.
The legislature party also named K V Singhdeo, a six-time MLA from Patnagarh Assembly, and Pravati Parida, a first-timer MLA from Nimapara, as the two Deputy Chief Ministers. Rajnath Singh, who was present at the meeting, revealed the names of the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Ministers, marking a historic moment for the BJP in Odisha. The party then proceeded to meet Governor Raghubar Das at Raj Bhavan to officially stake their claim to form the next government in the state.
Accompanied by Rajnath Singh, the team of BJP leaders, including the Chief Minister designate Mohan Charan Majhi and the Deputy Chief Minister designates K V Singhdeo and Pravati Parida, were warmly welcomed by the Governor. He felicitated them with a beautiful silver filigree replica of the Sun temple wheel, a symbol of Odisha's rich cultural heritage. The other members of the BJP team, including Bhupendra Yadav, Vijaya Pal Singh Tomar, Dharmendra Pradhan, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Baijayant Panda, Manmohan Samal, and Sunil Bansal, were also congratulated by the Governor for their achievement.
The swearing-in ceremony of the new BJP government is set to take place on June 12 at Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar. The ceremony is expected to be graced by the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and several other central BJP leaders. Chief Ministers from at least seven BJP-ruled states are also expected to attend the ceremony, making it a grand and momentous occasion. The BJP's victory in the 2024 election, where they secured 78 out of 147 Assembly seats, has paved the way for a new era in Odisha's political landscape.
