Who will be the next CM Odisha? In the Odisha Assembly, comprising 147 members, the BJP has clinched 78 seats, establishing a significant lead over its rivals. Meanwhile, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has secured 51 seats, while the Congress has shown a notable improvement, increasing its tally from nine seats in 2019 to 14 this year. Additionally, the Communist Party of India has secured one seat, and three Independent candidates have emerged victorious. The BJP’s numbers have further strengthened as one Independent MLA has recently joined the party, with two more expected to follow suit in the near future.
A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved a decisive victory in its prolonged campaign to establish a government in Odisha, speculation has started regarding potential candidates for the new Chief Minister.
Who will be the next CM Odisha?
Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Education Minister in the recently dissolved government and the elected representative of the Sambalpur Lok Sabha seat, is emerging as the leading candidate for the Chief Minister’s position. Mr. Pradhan, a significant figure in Odisha’s BJP, possesses the requisite experience to effectively handle both bureaucratic and party matters, thanks to his tenure as a Union Minister and his expertise as an election strategist. Moreover, his relatively younger age is considered an asset, providing the potential for him to lead the party in the state for a prolonged period.
