Bhubaneswar: The news of Mohan Charan Majhi being appointed as the 15th Chief Minister of Odisha has been making waves in the political sphere. However, what many may not know is that his journey to this prestigious position began almost three decades ago, when he was just a village sarpanch.
Majhi, who hails from the tribal-dominated and mineral-rich Keonjhar district, has come a long way from his humble beginnings as the son of a watchman. He has been a member of the Odisha Assembly for four terms, starting from 2000, 2004, 2019, and finally, 2024.
With a graduation degree under his belt, Majhi first entered the political arena as the village head in 1997, before being elected as an MLA from Keonjhar in 2000. He also held the position of secretary in the BJP's Adivasi Morcha, showcasing his dedication and passion for serving the people of his community.
In the recent 2024 Assembly elections, Majhi secured his seat in Keonjhar once again, defeating his opponent Mina Majhi from the BJD party. He was also the Chief Whip of the opposition in the previous Odisha Assembly, constantly raising important issues and questioning the ruling BJD government.
Upon his appointment as the Chief Minister, Majhi expressed his gratitude towards the people of Odisha for placing their trust in the BJP and bringing about a much-needed change in the state. He also promised to honor this trust and work towards the betterment of all 4.5 crore Odias.
The saffron party's historic win in the state, with 78 out of 147 Assembly seats, has paved the way for Majhi to take charge as the new Chief Minister. The swearing-in ceremony will be held at the Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday, marking the beginning of a new era under Majhi's leadership.
