Weeks after the BJD’s debacle in the simultaneous Assembly and Lok Sabha polls in Odisha, the party president and ex-chief minister, Naveen Patnaik, is ramping up his efforts to take on the ruling BJP government headed by CM Mohan Charan Majhi.
With a photograph of her missing son and a copy of an FIR lodged last year based on her complaint, Sanjukta Bharati from the Bari area of Odisha’s Jajpur district was among the hundreds of people who gathered outside the Chief Minister’s grievance cell as new Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi held his first grievance redress meeting in Bhubaneswar, remaining there for the entire first half of the workday.
Seven-time Cuttack MP Bhartruhari Mahtab of the BJP has been appointed the pro-tem Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha.

And for the job, the party has picked Mohan Charan Majhi who will take oath as Chief Minister at a grand event in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday.
The BJP on Tuesday picked four-time Keonjhar MLA Mohan Charan Majhi who is from the tribal Santhal community as Odisha’s Chief Minister.

It also bagged 20 of 21 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
