'Odisha needs a CM who ...': PM Modi takes a dig at Naveen Patnaik
Monday, 6 May 2024 On Monday, Prime Minister Narendr Modi declared that the BJD government's tenure will come to an end on June 4, coinciding with the announcement of the assembly election results. In what seemed to be a veiled criticism of BJD president and chief minister Naveen Patnaik, PM Modi asserted, "Odisha needs a CM who understands Odia language and culture."
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.

Days after the Odisha assembly election results, outgoing Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik clarified that BJD leader VK Pandian, despite his long association as Patnaik's private secretary and subsequent entry into politics, is not his chosen successor. 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.

The incident underscores the sensitivity of mixing religion and politics.
