Puri soaks in religious fervour ahead of Shree Mandira Parikrama project opening
Monday, 15 January 2024 Sounds of chanting of mantras and Vedic hymns reverberated the air around the Puri Jagannath Temple with a three-day ‘Maha Yajna’ (sacred fire ritual) beginning on Monday as the forerunner of the grand inauguration of Shree Mandira Parikrama Prakalpa (heritage corridor project) on Wednesday. Chief minister Naveen Patnaik is scheduled to dedicate the heritage corridor project to devotees following the culmination of the ritual on Wednesday afternoon.
In a historic political shift, four-time Keonjhar MLA Mohan Majhi has been selected as the Chief Minister of Odisha. Accompanying him in leadership roles, KV Singh Deo and Pravati Parida have been appointed as Deputy Chief Ministers. This announcement follows the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) landmark victory, where it secured a majority by winning 78 out of 147 seats in the recent state assembly elections. BJP’s win marks the end of 24-year rule of Naveen Patnaik as the Chief Minister Of the State.

Patnaik emphasised that the people of Odisha will ultimately decide on his successor. Patnaik acknowledged Pandian's contributions in various sectors but reiterated that Pandian had not held any official party position.

Sambit Patra, BJP's Lok Sabha candidate in Odisha's Puri seat, sparked controversy by proclaiming "Lord Jagannath is Modi's devotee" after a rally with PM Modi. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik condemned the statement, calling it an insult to Lord Jagannath and Odia pride. Patra apologized, citing a "slip of the tongue" due to heat. The incident underscores the sensitivity of mixing religion and politics.
