Just hours before the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government was set to take office in Odisha, Chief Minister-designate Mohan Charan Majhi paid a visit to former CM Naveen Patnaik at his residence in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday. Majhi cordially extended an invitation to Patnaik, inviting him to the upcoming swearing-in ceremony.
Majhi arrived at Naveen Niwas, the official residence of the former CM, where he formally presented the invitation. Speaking to reporters outside, Majhi shared, "I came to Naveen Niwas and invited former Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to attend the swearing-in ceremony, which will also be graced by the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I also requested Patnaik to bless the newly formed BJP government in the state."
The Chief Minister-designate also mentioned that Patnaik had assured him of his attendance at the ceremony. This gesture of support from the former CM was greatly appreciated by Majhi and the BJP delegation. In fact, just the day before, a five-member delegation led by state president Manmohan Samal had also visited Naveen Niwas to extend an invitation to Patnaik.
The stage was now set for the grand swearing-in ceremony, with the presence of prominent leaders from both the BJP and the opposition party. The event was eagerly anticipated by the people of Odisha, as it marked the beginning of a new era in the state's political landscape. The PTI (Press Trust of India) had reported on this significant development, highlighting the cordial exchange between Majhi and Patnaik as they came together to celebrate the democratic process.
