Bhubaneswar: On the second anniversary of the BJP coming to power in Odisha, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Thursday, termed this day two years ago “momentous” in the state’s political history and sought the cooperation of all to take the state to the pinnacle of prosperity.
He asserted the state government was working with full commitment for the overall development of every section of society, giving utmost importance to administrative transparency, responsibility and welfare of the people.
“Today, June 4, is a momentous and glorious day in the political history of Odisha. Two years ago, on this day, you gave a historic and clear vote in favour of the Bharatiya Janata Party with the resolve of change,” Majhi said in a X post.
The people’s vote in favour of the BJP led to the formation of a strong government in the state, he said, adding it has also broken the long-standing stagnation and laid the foundation for building a “clean, prosperous and progressive Odisha”.

The BJP formed its maiden government in the state June 12, 2024, after it won the Assembly polls June 4 by securing 78 seats in the 147-member Odisha Assembly.
Majhi, a four-time MLA from the Keonjhar assembly seat, was a surprise pick of the BJP as its first chief minister in Odisha.
BJD senior vice-president Debi Prasad Mishra said that though the BJP formed a government in Odisha due to the number game, the people still prefer Naveen Patnaik as their leader.
In the 2024 elections, the BJD secured more votes (40.22 per cent) than the BJP (40.07 per cent).
“The people have trust in Naveen Ji and his leadership,” Mishra said, adding the Biju Janata Dal was playing the role of a “responsible” opposition party in Odisha.
