Bhubaneswar was bustling with excitement as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and various other dignitaries gathered to witness the historic swearing-in ceremony of the first Bharatiya Janata Party government in Odisha on Wednesday. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation as Mohan Charan Majhi took the oath of office as the Chief Minister of Odisha, administered by Governor Raghubar Das. Along with Majhi, Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo and Pravati Parida were also sworn in as Deputy Chief Ministers, marking the beginning of a new era in Odisha's political landscape.
The BJP's victory in Odisha was the result of a grueling election campaign led by PM Modi himself. He had boldly declared during his speeches that the "expiry date" of the Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal government was June 4. With every public meeting, the Prime Minister extended an invitation to the people of Odisha to join him at the oath-taking ceremony on June 10 at Bhubaneswar. And true to his word, PM Modi, along with other senior leaders of the party, tirelessly toured every corner of the state and addressed numerous public gatherings to garner support for the BJP.
After arriving at Bhubaneswar airport at 2:10 pm on Wednesday, PM Modi headed straight to the Raj Bhawan, the residence of the Odisha Governor. From there, he made his way to the venue in a special carcade, keeping his promise to attend the swearing-in ceremony. As his convoy made its way through the streets, the people of Bhubaneswar were treated to various cultural performances, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The event was graced by the presence of several prominent leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Minister of Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw, and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, among others. Naveen Patnaik, the former Chief Minister of Odisha and President of Biju Janata Dal, also attended the ceremony, showing his support for the new government.
The grand event was also attended by several Chief Ministers from other states, including Yogi Adityanath from Uttar Pradesh, Pramod Sawant from Goa, Bhupendra Patel from Gujarat, Vishnu Deo Sai from Chhattisgarh, Pushkar Singh Dhami from Uttaranchal, Himanta Biswa Sarma from Assam, Manik Saha from Tripura, Nayab Singh Saini from Haryana, and Bhajan Lal Sharma from Rajasthan. It was a truly momentous occasion, with over 50,000 people gathered at Janata Maidan to witness the historic moment.
The swearing-in ceremony marked the beginning of a new chapter in Odisha's political history, with the BJP taking the reins of power. It was a day filled with excitement, celebration, and hope for the future of the state. As the new government assumes its responsibilities, the people of Odisha eagerly await the changes and developments that lie ahead.
