With Odisha one of the brightest spots in the BJP’s Lok Sabha election showing, the party is set to appoint its popular tribal face from the state and six-time Sundargarh MP Jual Oram, Sambalpur MP Dharmendra Pradhan, and the party’s Rajya Sabha MP from the state Ashwini Vaishnaw to the Union Council of Ministers.
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.
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reply in the Rajya Sabha Wednesday to the debate on the motion of thanks on the President’s address, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MPs joined the Congress-led Opposition members as they staged a walkout from the House in protest.
The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has announced that it would stop giving “issue-based support” to the BJP in Parliament. BJD chief and ex-Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik held a meeting with his party’s nine Rajya Sabha MPs on Monday, asking them to ensure that the party goes all out to “protect the interests of Odisha” and emerges as a “strong and vibrant” Opposition in Parliament.
Seven-time Cuttack MP Bhartruhari Mahtab of the BJP has been appointed the pro-tem Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha.
Former Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik is all set to begin his new innings — this time on the Opposition benches. On Wednesday, BJD’s legislature party elected him as the Leader of the Opposition after his party lost the state assembly polls to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
As new Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi takes guard, the BJP-led government is bracing for a bumpy road, with the first challenge before it to deliver on the promises made during the election campaign. For the 52-year-old CM, who has no previous ministerial experience, keeping all the factions in the party united and facing the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in the Opposition for the first time will also be among the major challenges.
The BJP on Tuesday picked four-time Keonjhar MLA Mohan Charan Majhi who is from the tribal Santhal community as Odisha’s Chief Minister. Majhi will take oath along with Deputy CMs K V Singh Deo and Pravati Parida, who will become the first woman Deputy CM of the state, at the Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar at 4.55 pm on Wednesday.
