Oppn, from ex-CM Naveen Patnaik to a weakened Congress, has seized the moment, protesting a spate of brutal crimes & alleged erosion of rule of law in CM Majhi's 1 yr in office.

10 months have passed since the Mohan Charan Majhi-led BJP govt came to power, ending Naveen Patnaik's 24-year rule. Enter Bhubaneswar, and some changes are strikingly visible.
Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi stated that those who have been evacuated are receiving dry and cooked food and that all other arrangements have been made in the cyclone shelters.
The move has drawn criticism from the Opposition. Former CM & BJD chief Naveen Patnaik said BJP ‘renamed more than 40 schemes of my government as their own’.
This is the first BJP govt in Odisha after its emphatic performance in recent elections, after it defeated BJD. BJP won 78 of 147 seats in Odisha assembly polls.
He will take oath Wednesday along with his two deputies, K.V. Singh Deo & Pravati Parida. Four-term MLA from Santhal community, Majhi won from Keonjhar.
