BJP's Historic Win in Odisha: Who Will Be the Next Chief Minister?
After the BJP's significant victory in Odisha, the big question arises: Who will be the Chief Minister? The race includes these prominent faces.
History bears witness that whenever anyone with greedy eyes has looked upon this holy land of Lord Jagannath; whenever conspiracies have been woven against the Odia language, culture, and identity, the Lord’s play unfolds. We have read about the Kanchi conquest campaign in books. But we are the fortunate generation that has witnessed the second Kanchi conquest by Kalia (Lord Jagannath) with our own eyes.
A New Era for Odisha: Anticipating the Next Chief Minister from BJP
Under the Lord’s direction, a journey of transformation has begun through you. This victory, this mandate, and the glory of this blessing will be preserved with utmost care. As I seek permission and blessings to ensure that I am never detached from serving my Dhamnagar family and my beloved Odisha soil, I humbly return after seeking the blessings at the feet of Lord Jagannath. With your affection, respect, and love, I will strive to move forward.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has won the trust of the people of Odisha. With the clear mandate, it's evident that BJP will form the government in Odisha this time. The BJP has secured 78 seats, surpassing the magic number of 74 needed to form the government. The party also achieved a record victory in the Lok Sabha. Amidst this victory, the biggest question remains: Who will be the Chief Minister in the BJP government?
Following the BJP's strategy, no Chief Ministerial candidate was declared before the election. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned that the BJP leader would take the oath as Chief Minister in Bhubaneswar on June 10. Now, all eyes are on who will take the oath on June 10.
