According to a source, the newly elected Chief Minister of Odisha from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will now take their oath of office on June 12, instead of the previously announced date of June 10. The ceremony will be held at Bhubaneswar's Janata Maidan, and it is expected to be a grand event. This news comes just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third consecutive swearing-in ceremony as the Prime Minister of India, which is scheduled for Sunday evening.
During his election campaign, PM Modi had promised that the BJP's Chief Minister would take their oath on June 10, after defeating the Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal (BJD). However, it seems that the date has been pushed back by two days. Interestingly, PM Modi himself will also be taking his oath of office along with some of his council of ministers on Sunday evening at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
In the recently concluded Odisha Assembly election, the BJP emerged as the leading party with 78 out of 147 seats. This was a significant victory for the party, as it managed to dethrone the BJD, which had been in power for the past 19 years. The BJD, on the other hand, secured 51 seats while the Congress, Independent candidates, and the Communist Party of India (CPI) managed to win one seat each.
Overall, it is an exciting time for the BJP in both the state of Odisha and at the national level. With the new Chief Minister set to take office on June 12, and PM Modi's third term as Prime Minister beginning on Sunday, it will be interesting to see the future developments and progress in the state and the country.
