It was a significant day in Bhubaneswar as Governor Raghubar Das made the decision to dissolve the Odisha Legislative Assembly on Monday. This news was confirmed by a notification released by the Parliamentary Affairs Department of the Odisha Government. The state's Cabinet, headed by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, had a virtual meeting earlier today where they recommended the dissolution of the Assembly to Governor Das. This meeting took place just one day before the vote counting for the simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the state.
This was the last Cabinet meeting of the BJD government's fifth term in the state, adding to the importance of the day. According to official sources, the sole purpose of this meeting was to discuss and decide upon the dissolution of the Odisha Assembly. The state had gone to the polls in four phases, starting from May 13, to elect 147 Assembly members and 21 Lok Sabha members.
In the previous Assembly, the ruling BJD held a majority with 114 members, while the BJP and Congress had 22 and nine members, respectively. The CPM and an independent candidate also held one member each in the Assembly. It is safe to say that the dissolution of the Odisha Legislative Assembly marks the end of the BJD government's successful reign in the state.
As the state prepares for the upcoming vote counting, all eyes are on the new government that will take charge in Odisha. The results of the recent elections will have a significant impact on the state's political landscape, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Until then, the people of Odisha eagerly wait for the future of their beloved state to unfold.
