The political landscape in Bhubaneswar was rocked by an unexpected turn of events as the Biju Janata Dal suffered a defeat in the Assembly polls. This led to the party's leader and Chief Minister, Naveen Patnaik, tendering his resignation to the Odisha Governor, Raghubar Das, at the Raj Bhavan in Bhubaneswar.
Amidst a sense of disbelief and disappointment, Naveen's convoy made its way from a deserted Naveen Niwas to the Raj Bhavan at 11:30am. Just five minutes later, the five-time Chief Minister arrived at the Governor's official residence and proceeded to submit his resignation.
The Biju Janata Dal, which had been in power for several years, was dealt a crushing blow by the Bharatiya Janata Party. The saffron party's victory was nothing short of remarkable, as they secured a total of 78 Assembly seats, surpassing the required number of 74 with ease. In contrast, the BJD only managed to secure 51 seats, while the Congress won 14.
The defeat of the Biju Janata Dal has left many in shock and has raised questions about the future of the political landscape in Bhubaneswar. As the dust settles and the results sink in, all eyes will be on the next steps taken by the newly elected BJP government and the outgoing BJD party. It remains to be seen what changes this unexpected turn of events will bring to the state of Odisha.
