The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislature party in Odisha will convene a crucial meeting on Tuesday to elect the next Chief Minister of the state. A senior party leader confirmed that the newly elected government will take the oath of office the following day.

The BJP secured a decisive majority in the Odisha Assembly elections held on June 4, clinching 78 out of 147 seats. This victory marks a significant political shift in the state, where the party has been striving to establish a strong foothold.

Despite the majority win, the party has yet to finalize its choice for the Chief Minister’s position. The upcoming meeting is expected to witness intense deliberations as the party zeroes in on a leader who will steer the state government.

The swearing-in ceremony of the new government is scheduled for Wednesday, setting the stage for the BJP to implement its agenda and governance plans for Odisha. Party members and supporters eagerly await the announcement, which will shape the political landscape of the state in the coming years.
