How 'mystery of lost key' has spiced up Odisha elections
Friday, 24 May 2024 When most of the top opposition leaders flew to Bihar last year to present a 'formidable front' against the ever-strong Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik was one of the few big faces missing at the Patna meeting, which saw the birth of the INDIA bloc. A month before the June 2023 Patna meeting, Patnaik had made it clear that he would go solo in the upcoming elections, calling it a 'principle' of his party, Biju Janata Dal (BJD).
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.

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.
