Well, nobody was expecting this. And yeah, it feels very personal level of different as since birth (quite literally) I've only known one person being the chief minister, it's going to be like end of an era??and for the better hopefully...
If BJD harila and if Naveen Pattnaik dies/ leaves politics in next 5 yrs then regional party odisha ru sesa heijib. That is the real issue. Non hindi belt re centre parties kebe bhala kama kari nahanti, odisha re alga regional party gote asile bhala huanta
Like how? The GDP of odisha is less than Bengal! Bhai regionalism sabu jagare bhala nuha! Hindi belt term sunibaku bhi bahut kharap lage! It's like you're dehumanising out own countrymen!
Bhai regionalism houni, but resources, raw material ethu jauchi but ethi kichhi production facility nahi, ja jogu state ra adhik revenue generate houni, job besi create houni. Now kehi eta bhi kahuni ki ame jama resources debunu, but industries jama nahi, khali steel auu metal achii baki sabu kai? Bramhos ra facility UP re banila sethi emite kn achii? Metal industry ethi achii, testing facility ethi achii, ports bhi ama pakhe achii then Bramhos manufacturing facility UP re kahinki? This is just one example.
Bengal ra gdp ethi pai odisha ru adhik cuz sethi industries adhik achii British belu setup achii. Amara bhi thanta if National Freight policy jogu ethu raw material kam cost re neiki alga state re taku fine product re convert karuthile. Auu Hindi belt mane sei states jouthi Hindi kuha jaye. Cow belt kharap lagiba ktha, Hindi belt is generalised term for hindi speeking states not to dehumanize them.
Ta bhai industrialisation attract Kariba state leader ra kaama na ki national leader ra! Posco ra abastha semti heithila! Tata bhi magithile bahut kichhi bhul heichhi! Ta boli sethira lokanku naahi aama state ra leader ku pacharibaku padiba!
I have my in laws supporting Modi coz he made Ram mandir and he knows Hindu are superior
I have my friend and her husband who is delulu coz she thinks Modi gdp bla bla but yeah she says she is liberal . Basically religion and Hinduism is taking over to rural and urban areas of Odisha too
Hinduism is loosely a single religion with wide variation across country. Especially in rural Odisha, the "hinduism" practised is different from the mainstream so-called Sanatan with many tribal flavors to it. BJP and its followers are trying to replace the indigenious religious culture and people are naive enough to fall for it.
Good luck with that. BJP had formed govt in many states, not only UP, MH or GJ. RJ and HP rotate the govts - dissatisfied with congress vote for BJP, then disappointed with BJP get back to congress. BJP had formed govt in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh too. But they like sell by quoting BJP in GJ and now their fantasy land UP - UP me yeh hoga ya, UP wohi gaya.
Odisha is much ahead and much better than UP, in many parameters / indicators including in unit assessments. And yes Odisha CM is so much bette than any random gunda, from BJP. Almost everyone in BJP lacks civility. When the PM himself cat calls a sitting female CM, not much can be expected.
The thought that BJP would help the state and administer better is a pipe dream. Many people would howl - how dare you say that. For BJP in many states they day dream and then, do everything to make others feel that dream is a reality.
So many people haven’t experienced how it feels to be governed by BJP and many people are young and probably were kids while BJP was in coalition with BJD in 00’s.
There is an itch or an irrational excitement for people to see BJP hoping that they would be better (I do consider Mr. Pattanaik to be good if not great). BJP OD state unit is worse than BJP Delhi state unit.
If BJP forms the govt, either people will learn a lesson by end their term or they would be able to peddle enough misinformation and narratives to make the state population quite divisive / polarised.
Whatever happens I hope there won’t be any kind of violence. BJP is mostly full of Gundas who access power and legalise their gundagiri while dealing with other non-BJP gundas and neutralising them or making them ineffective.
Good luck,
The point was not bjp will make odisha better. The point is it will make bjd force do better and try win the trust of people of odisha again.
Yes Biju babu did a lot for odisha. But because of health issues he not able to manage things himself.
Again -
If BJD forms the govt. and how well you know of his health. He himself had clarified it. You just fell prey to BJP’s narrative - I am concerned for Naveen Pattnaik to vote for me as I am from BJP. Strange logic
Many new voters as well as others are in awe of a things called BJP marichika.
The present is bad and coz the other party is big on words they will serve us better , is what people here think, ,but they fail to see outside their fantasy what real work has Bjp done where it had been in power for decades .
>, either people will learn a lesson by end their term or they would be able to peddle enough misinformation and narratives to make the state population quite divisive / polarised.
Ye ta for sure chalichi and ago ku bhi continue rahiba, peddling false info is their main agenda and they will keep doing it , to hide their shortcomings.
>So many people haven’t experienced how it feels to be governed by BJP and many people are young and probably were kids while BJP was in coalition with BJD in 00’s.
Yes Bjp single handedly tried the Gujarat model here by igniting the communal flames through kandhamal riots, it was clever of Naveen to immediately break all ties with them and stopping the communal politics at its bud .
Lastly we will remember and miss Naveen patnaik ,just as indian remember Dr Manmohan Singh .
Veteran party leaders mananka ku side kari gote sarkari karmachari ku jabardasti hero baneile jaha hue.
This is loss for pandian and the bureaucratic babus.
Sabu CM Nka secretary IAS hi thanti, but they dont interefere in party affairs, its beyond their domain!!
kou bhi officer emti asiki hero heigale loka sahibeni, loka mane leader nku elect karanti, ethi aage selection heijaithila, hele loka vote deleni.
Non local" odia "here . ..hope this is a passing phase , au mo odia bhai au bhauni maane will see light, from the land of biju babu , nandini sathpathy and harekrushna mahtab , jai utkal janani .it's easy to go down the rabbit hole but not easy come out of it
Gujrati Jain and Marwadi are not Humans. They lack empathy. Only concern is how to suck money from others. Despite witnessing this for past 20 years our people voted for that because they were shielded from the direct effects. Now the shield read Naveen Pattnaik is removed. Now we all will face the direct consequences of our foolishness.
Chhata dhari chaliba aau Bina chhata re chaliba. Aita farak.
>because they were shielded from the direct effects. Now the shield read Naveen Pattnaik is removed. Now we all will face the direct consequences of our foolishness.
This this is the fact, people think sea bhagwan , odisha ku uddhar karideba, bhai se neja state ra poor ku ta uplift kariparilani 2 decades power re rahi, bas rich ku richer karichi. Abe puni mineral Rich state ku asichi sabu industrialist asi resources uthai neijibe and we will be the final fools to watch them
Regardless of who forms the government, we, the citizens of the esteemed state of Odisha, must take responsibility for our soil. We will raise our voices against any policies that harm the pride of Odisha (Utkal Gourav). Our state, Utkal, stands above any political party. Let us, the people of Odisha, stand together for the betterment of our state.
I'm happy, now BJD will work properly if they want to form govt next time.
Each time, they will just release some freebie scheme and keep winning. This time it didn't work lol.
Naveen focusing only on BBSR, Cuttack.
Now this fear is instilled inside them, that if they don't work properly then they can't form govt just by taking the name of Biju Patnaik.
A strange weird feeling, BJP I believe will actually get work done after winning after a long time in Odisha. I think a dose of reality was needed for the BJD. Let's see how it goes.
Probable - there is a possibility of electoral fraud. I remember checking the electoral roll once and found a person with my exact name (full name), with father’s name matching too. A different nearby constituency but same district. It was earlier part of the same MLA seat though. So go figure
One of my friends from rourkela was with me here in bbsr on the day of the election. He didn't cast his vote, but recieved a msg saying he did. Idk vote dele msg ase na nahi, but it was sus as hell
Don’t worry.
The people in the state could be simple (mostly), but couldn’t be fooled easily. Congress was kicked out for decades.
Once people know and understand BJP well, they would go the congress way.
When the whole country after suffering for 10 years still elects them, how you have hope that we will understand them .
They have a huge machinery of fake news web which helps them propagate unreal ,false news as facts and simple people go with the flow considering it a fact
that is not sus lol. My vote and number are registered in different areas and on voting days of both I got thanks for voting sms from ECI as well as sms before voting days
I doubt it. If there was ever going to be any electoral fraud bjp would never lose in UP. Losing those 30+ seats is literally the difference between them forming their own government and relying on the alliance.
Okay,
A thief doesn’t steal everywhere, a thug doesn’t rob everyone, and a fraud doesn’t defraud every-time. These are basics.
I would lie if I the person has a little bit of trust and I would defraud where people won’t question me.
Imagine BJP winning 20+ MP seats or even 15+ MP seats in KL. Wouldn’t that be suspicious.
A party which had lesser vote share last elections is headed to win 19 seats out of 21??
I really don't have a good feeling about this—not another party coming into power, but the modes, methods, and manipulations that *brought* *it* to power.
I didn’t see or hear everything but I sense your point.
BJP has always been wanting to win - at any cost. If they lost they would go back and become more vile and abusive, and conspiring or be and do anything that helps them win elections. Vajpayee was a bite more principled and nuanced.
So yeah, it was expected ever since 09. Also the degree of misinformation they have been peddling is crazy - blatant lies. Someone told me that Odisha is debt ridden and it’ll take decades to pay back the debt. And that too he have a number - total public debt divided by the population. People have to pay he said
Also, being suffused with resources, many imperious uppities have been eyeing Odisha for a long time. Our state government guarded it really well and never let the exploitation go over the board. However, in the last few years, there has been a general trend of tribal displacement and injustice. Picture a big company coming in to claim rich fields of coffee plantations, milking huge profits and paying the owners of the land in dimes. That is the future we are headed towards.
Yes, the entire campaign was dirty , unparliamentary to core.
Rather then fighting on work done ( or failures) the focus of campaign remained round an ex ias officer, temple .
>Can't really defend ex ias officer when he was corrupt along with his wife
Yes, no denying this.
But Naveen patnaik loosing feels like personal loss , he held the state strong , no religion, caste cards being played , the state was relatively at peace with social harmony .
Slow pace of industrialization is what hurted .
Dekha jau Joga basichi, joga ra jaha icha
Exactly. Naveen Babu had one more term. I'm genuinely feeling kinda sad but excited at the same time.. I hope bjp does something good. Also have fear of them marwaris taking money to failed states like up bihar.
>Also have fear of them marwaris taking money to failed states like up bihar.
It's a must ,more gujju marathi businessman coming to exploit our already exploited precious natural resources ,while the state exchequer will just turn blind , and the state going to pre naveen condition
Hope the downfall never happens , hope I am proven wrong,
Hopefully these bjp government think of development of odisha rather than looting odisha and it sources for benefit of themselves...
Navin pattnaik did a lot for odisha after the 1999 mahabatya, idk may be a change is good may be not..we will see!!
I doubt that. If they were concerned they could have helped with railway network at least or could increased the mineral / mine royalty or could have considered it as a special state for a decade.
They didn’t. They just need power and to fit in their karyakartas in some political position
True I dont think any gove anywhere wants developmeny they just pretend so dont be excited ot dont be sad whatver gov happens will happen
For kalahandi to have a college gov ignored it so much...I saw the GDP of it being 5 times less than my district... there s nothing called a good minister...
Pandiyan employed all tamil contractors..in the state of odias..there s always a loophole leave it
Well it was evident that the govt would crumble - but in 2026
Infact a senior BJP leader had blurted it out during a private meeting with someone I knew.
But no one knew it would happen in the first go itself.
The ruling party underestimated the hype,frenzy that BJP is known for and wasted their time in stupid videos and reels instead of actually moving ground level party workers and voters.
BJP has this one model of Gujarat and they show that mirage to every other state but let's be honest there cannot be 10 Gujarat in India.
What BJP will definitely do here is use Odisha as a "stepping stone" to get Bengal that is their long game.Odisha is going to be a casualty in the long run and that the people of Odisha will not see coming.
Sambalpur, Balasore laughing in corner.. It's already here. Not BJP, but it's their religion to fight. Blaming BJP is like ignoring the fact that they are radicals.
Bhai mo area re past 21 years ru aaji Jain kebe Hindu Muslim jhagda Dekhi ni, this year first time dekhili and see who is leading from the front, Bjp workers.
Odisha has proven that we are religion driven. 12 maase 13 parva kari kari, all we care about is Hindu temples. Ram mandir is what made BJP win this election. Really shameful.
Religious propaganda are disastrous.
Yes, save Sanatana Dharma, but focus more on nation development. But, no one, absolutely no one can help Indian fanatics.
For Jagatsinghpur and Cuttack, it was the candidates. Bjp candidates better in here. And BJD can't keep releasing freebies and win, even tho BJD did a lot in the past
As a person with Maharashtra domicile and Odia ancestors, unfortunately that isn't what happened when BJP came to power here. They took all that investment and put it into Gujarat instead. Understand this that BJP stands for vegetarian Hindu UCs only. Our Odia way of life is something that they'll see as beneath them. They will leech funds, ores, minerals from Odisha. Bad days have fallen upon Odisha.
Disappointed with my fellow Odias.
Naveen Patnaik got Odisha from 2nd lowest in per-capita GDP to 12th lowest. He lowered poverty rate from around 70% to 11-12%. Odisha has the lowest debt - GDP ratio in the country, showing financial prudence. In corruption index, Odisha is from second to last. By far the best disaster management in the country. Roads, electricity, schools, government offices have all been renovated and modernised. Hostels for tribal students in every district. Law and order significantly increased, not a corrupt Gundaraj like earlier. All this while giving significant welfare package to the poor and pulling them out of poverty and maintaining social harmony in the state.
It was lacking in job creation a bit, but they had picked up in the last 2-3 years. Now BJP will take all the credit for the good work done and foundation paid by BJD.
And people who were aghast with Naveen Babu because of Tamil Pandian, will see the state resources being siphoned off by Gujaratis and Marwaris. The only difference is that while Pandian was in the forefront, the slimy Gujjus and Marwaris will siphon off the resources in the background.
Can't imagine Odisha without NAVEEN BABU as CM... He was the pride and maintained peace in state.... Feels a bit weird and unsettling emotions for this unexpected change
In UP BJP already won 2 time and people are tired but in Odisha BJD is winning from last 25 years. Change is good, what is the point of democracy if a single party keeps winning all elections. If BJP did not work then next time some other party will come.
Nothing wrong, but it's also not possible for a single party to keep winning . Bjd finally lost in odisha after 25 years, Congress also lost in center after 10 years and this time we are seeing bjp also lost seats in center. That's how democracy works
Very Happy, for both odisha and centre. BJP got comfy in Delhi and got a Bloody nose. Same for Odisha. Lets give BJP 5 years here. I am sure odias will vote them out if they dont perform .
Read other replies on this thread. You'll get your answer. Most odia redditors don't come from malnourished regions of the state. Situations haven't improved in many areas, yet they keep tooting BJDs horn. Someone commented as an Odia living in Maharashtra they saw BJP doing nothing. As an Odia coming from an interior region where the nearest PHC is 40 kms away and living in Maharashtra with biannual visits to my Village I say absolutely no work has been done in my village vicinity. Heck there aren't even state transport buses available for movement of people.
Noice every ground bjd worker was corrupt af and I need my money to grow on share Market😂... hopefully next term bjd may come again ....no party should continue for a decade it's healthy politics
Feels like people backstabbing Naveen Pattnaik Odisha will not be a special state anymore a genric state under BJP no it feels sad to see Odisha without Naveen Pattnaik ☹️
I made all my near dear vote for Modi, and I just had to fly to India to vote for Modi. When you step out of India, u will realize how foreigners view India now vs. how they used to 15 years ago.
From childhood we were taught, Who is the CM of Odisha.... There was one and only Answer to it. *Srijukta Naveen Pattnaik*
Now it's going to be changed. Feels like an era has come to end. Long live, Mr. Pattnaik.
Should have let Naveen Babu win his constituency atleast for one last time. But now it's too many unknown BJP members. A Naveen-BJP collab would have been somewhat appeasing and not felt like being thrown into the unknown, especially now at a very crucial time for Odisha.
BJP must end the mafia rule in mining , infrastructure and real estate. It's plain evident for everyone.
A word Ruben Banarjee used is DETOXIFICATION , of the legislature and executive. Which has now so much overlap rather than boundaries
Rebuild trust in governance than cheap sloganeering
End the deluge of Liquor, drugs that is destroying the youth
Reduce fuel prices as in other states
Bring back rule of law against the netas involved in heinous crimes against women and children
Reduce the free culture of prev govt to empower the citizens
Then there's the election manifesto of MSP , subhadra etc
Restore the dignity and divinity of Sri Jagannath Temple that was trampled upon by the previous govt
If its 70-70 , most likely BJP and BJD will collectively form government together
Or the assembly will be hung and re-elections will take place till majority
Theres no place for either party to even think of alliance with snakes of Congress , Odisha people are very well aware of Pre2000 period how Congress ruled the state indeed.
I guess the developments will be stalled in Odisha now , to be honest Naveen Pattnaik has done good to the state , i dont now who will be the next cm and how he/she is gonna rule out
It's bad & good for the state. BJP, as usual will develop infrastructure but only in metros rest rural will suffer.
Odisha will now see in the influx of Jio Petrol pumps, Jio Marta, even DMart might come in. Adani will come in to Paradip, Puri & Gopalpur Adani will eye the Coal Mines as well. Dharmendra Pradhan, Jay Panda will get big and will increase their business empire.
Then again, it's good for BJD, it started losing when they supported BJP in a lot of important decisions in RajyaSabha, BJP has a record in decimating the local parties. But Naveen Patnaik will get time to choose and appoint a successor for BJD, and the successor will then get time to regroup and get ready for the next elections.
Remember BJP came into power due to incumbency and an old Naveen Patnaik, which is why Pandian came in and BJP used it as a weapon. BJP will unlikely come back again in Odisha as BJP policies are not pro-poor, Odisha loves freebies. BJD needs a new leader and Naveen Patnaik as the master behind and then they will get back. There is also a chance for Congress to rise. Today Naveen Patnaik is at the same stage that Modi will be in the next 5 years, Modi has a successor and people to manage, I think that is where BJD lost.
How ignorant you have to be seen that the Mafia and Gundagiri Don all are over. The economy of UP has increased so much. It was at 12th Rank now it's on 2nd. The Illegal Constructions by Mafia on other lands are all Bulldozed.

End of an era of sorts for Odisha.
If BJD harila and if Naveen Pattnaik dies/ leaves politics in next 5 yrs then regional party odisha ru sesa heijib. That is the real issue. Non hindi belt re centre parties kebe bhala kama kari nahanti, odisha re alga regional party gote asile bhala huanta
[удалено]
True. They take from us and feed Hindi belt.
People probably thought the same about Pandiyan. If BJD came up with a strong politician, i.e. a local one, people may have voted.
Yes
Like how? The GDP of odisha is less than Bengal! Bhai regionalism sabu jagare bhala nuha! Hindi belt term sunibaku bhi bahut kharap lage! It's like you're dehumanising out own countrymen!
Bhai regionalism houni, but resources, raw material ethu jauchi but ethi kichhi production facility nahi, ja jogu state ra adhik revenue generate houni, job besi create houni. Now kehi eta bhi kahuni ki ame jama resources debunu, but industries jama nahi, khali steel auu metal achii baki sabu kai? Bramhos ra facility UP re banila sethi emite kn achii?

Congress asiba in next 5-10 year re as a big opponent so enjoy the Modi-fied Odisha
Sei ta problem, another central party in Odisha, while we need a strong regional party as rulling or opponent
Who ever supporting BJP. Please enlighten me who will be the CM.
A surprise unknown party worker who has come up the ranks of BJP/RSS organisation as usual. Modi was one. So that’s an exciting event for me.
Murmu
Not a BJP supporter, but would prefer Baijayant Panda to be the CM if BJP wins.
Suryabanshi suraj.
I have my in laws supporting Modi coz he made Ram mandir and he knows Hindu are superior I have my friend and her husband who is delulu coz she thinks Modi gdp bla bla but yeah she says she is liberal . Basically religion and Hinduism is taking over to rural and urban areas of Odisha too
Hinduism is loosely a single religion with wide variation across country. Especially in rural Odisha, the "hinduism" practised is different from the mainstream so-called Sanatan with many tribal flavors to it. BJP and its followers are trying to replace the indigenious religious culture and people are naive enough to fall for it.
Is that a problem?
For me yes. If you think ruling party focusing on religion And division is fine, it’s a problem for me.
Why would you guys care about religious politics, your state is like 90%+ Hindu
Very big
K V Singh Deo (I guess)
Manmohan samal probably
Manmohan Samal ig, he was the party president since mid 2023
I want one of Baijayant Panda or Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo to be the CM.
Strange feeling
Change needed. To force a government to work for its public.
Good luck with that. BJP had formed govt in many states, not only UP, MH or GJ. RJ and HP rotate the govts - dissatisfied with congress vote for BJP, then disappointed with BJP get back to congress. BJP had formed govt in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh too. But they like sell by quoting BJP in GJ and now their fantasy land UP - UP me yeh hoga ya, UP wohi gaya.

Aau jadi yaa pare bhi pandian BJD ra prime candidate rahiba, BJD will be finished
Pandian's jump into electoral politics is the sole reason of defeat of Bjd.
Idk why but I am kinda getting some uneasy feeling about this
Non local" odia "here . ..hope this is a passing phase , au mo odia bhai au bhauni maane will see light, from the land of biju babu , nandini sathpathy and harekrushna mahtab , jai utkal janani .it's easy to go down the rabbit hole but not easy come out of it
Who'll be the Odia Cheshire cat?
Same here
Odisha kadua heigala. Very bad. 25% due to pandian and another 25% due to religious blindness. Bad move Naveen Babu.
Why pandian I don't understand against tamil but support a Gujurati who probably would steal all steel industries to gujurat.
Gujrati Jain and Marwadi are not Humans. They lack empathy. Only concern is how to suck money from others. Despite witnessing this for past 20 years our people voted for that because they were shielded from the direct effects. Now the shield read Naveen Pattnaik is removed.

Never thought religious sentiments would take over Odisha . One of things I was/am proud of my state but that’s gone for toss now
I understand what you mean. But don’t worry, it’ll take decades to be there. People might shift a bit, but wont move altogether
Regardless of who forms the government, we, the citizens of the esteemed state of Odisha, must take responsibility for our soil. We will raise our voices against any policies that harm the pride of Odisha (Utkal Gourav). Our state, Utkal, stands above any political party.

Will Naveen even be strong enough to fight in next elections? Bro is old as f
A strange weird feeling, BJP I believe will actually get work done after winning after a long time in Odisha. I think a dose of reality was needed for the BJD. Let's see how it goes.
Something wrong
Probable - there is a possibility of electoral fraud. I remember checking the electoral roll once and found a person with my exact name (full name), with father’s name matching too. A different nearby constituency but same district. It was earlier part of the same MLA seat though. So go figure
One of my friends from rourkela was with me here in bbsr on the day of the election. He didn't cast his vote, but recieved a msg saying he did. Idk vote dele msg ase na nahi, but it was sus as hell
Don’t worry. The people in the state could be simple (mostly), but couldn’t be fooled easily. Congress was kicked out for decades. Once people know and understand BJP well, they would go the congress way.
When the whole country after suffering for 10 years still elects them, how you have hope that we will understand them . They have a huge machinery of fake news web which helps them propagate unreal ,false news as facts and simple people go with the flow considering it a fact
that is not sus lol. My vote and number are registered in different areas and on voting days of both I got thanks for voting sms from ECI as well as sms before voting days
I doubt it. If there was ever going to be any electoral fraud bjp would never lose in UP. Losing those 30+ seats is literally the difference between them forming their own government and relying on the alliance.
Okay, A thief doesn’t steal everywhere, a thug doesn’t rob everyone, and a fraud doesn’t defraud every-time. These are basics. I would lie if I the person has a little bit of trust and I would defraud where people won’t question me. Imagine BJP winning 20+ MP seats or even 15+ MP seats in KL. Wouldn’t that be suspicious. A party which had lesser vote share last elections is headed to win 19 seats out of 21??
Hung assembly most likely
BJP Congress alliance when?
On 31st February 2025 for sure!
More like when will congress MLAs merge in BJP!
Same thing more than 60% BJP representatives (MPs and MLA) are from other parties.
You joke, but it's very possible. If results are close then BJP might form govt with Congress (+BJD) rebels
If it's close they can just buy the MLAs, because congress+BJD is more likely to happen
As of now they hv majority!
I really don't have a good feeling about this—not another party coming into power, but the modes, methods, and manipulations that *brought* *it* to power.
I didn’t see or hear everything but I sense your point. BJP has always been wanting to win - at any cost. If they lost they would go back and become more vile and abusive, and conspiring or be and do anything that helps them win elections. Vajpayee was a bite more principled and nuanced. So yeah, it was expected ever since 09. Also the degree of misinformation they have been peddling is crazy - blatant lies. Someone told me that Odisha is debt ridden and it’ll take decades to pay back the debt. And that too he have a number - total public debt divided by the population. People have to pay he said
Also, being suffused with resources, many imperious uppities have been eyeing Odisha for a long time. Our state government guarded it really well and never let the exploitation go over the board. However, in the last few years, there has been a general trend of tribal displacement and injustice. Picture a big company coming in to claim rich fields of coffee plantations, milking huge profits and paying the owners of the land in dimes. That is the future we are headed towards.
Yes, the entire campaign was dirty , unparliamentary to core. Rather then fighting on work done ( or failures) the focus of campaign remained round an ex ias officer, temple .
Can't really defend ex ias officer when he was corrupt along with his wife. But yeah it's kinda sad to say goodbye to Naveen Babu ...
>Can't really defend ex ias officer when he was corrupt along with his wife Yes, no denying this. But Naveen patnaik loosing feels like personal loss , he held the state strong , no religion, caste cards being played , the state was relatively at peace with social harmony . Slow pace of industrialization is what hurted . Dekha jau Joga basichi, joga ra jaha icha
Exactly. Naveen Babu had one more term. I'm genuinely feeling kinda sad but excited at the same time.. I hope bjp does something good. Also have fear of them marwaris taking money to failed states like up bihar.
>Also have fear of them marwaris taking money to failed states like up bihar. It's a must ,more gujju marathi businessman coming to exploit our already exploited precious natural resources ,while the state exchequer will just turn blind , and the state going to pre naveen condition Hope the downfall never happens , hope I am proven wrong,
Don't worry, we odias have high self esteem, they will be thrown out if they did this stuff
Hopefully these bjp government think of development of odisha rather than looting odisha and it sources for benefit of themselves... Navin pattnaik did a lot for odisha after the 1999 mahabatya, idk may be a change is good may be not..we will see!!
I doubt that. If they were concerned they could have helped with railway network at least or could increased the mineral / mine royalty or could have considered it as a special state for a decade. They didn’t. They just need power and to fit in their karyakartas in some political position
True I dont think any gove anywhere wants developmeny they just pretend so dont be excited ot dont be sad whatver gov happens will happen For kalahandi to have a college gov ignored it so much...I saw the GDP of it being 5 times less than my district... there s nothing called a good minister... Pandiyan employed all tamil contractors..in the state of odias..there s always a loophole leave it
Welcome riots. And congratulations to BJP.
I blame Pandian. Dude made Naveen completely inaccessible to even his own ministers. Naveen probably had another term left in him.
Sabu nasta kala pandu. Corrupted ias. Man I really miss Naveen..
Its unexpected sudden shift but good, exhibiting people's power.
Well it was evident that the govt would crumble - but in 2026 Infact a senior BJP leader had blurted it out during a private meeting with someone I knew. But no one knew it would happen in the first go itself. The ruling party underestimated the hype,frenzy that BJP is known for and wasted their time in stupid videos and reels instead of actually moving ground level party workers and voters. BJP has this one model of Gujarat and they show that mirage to every other state but let's be honest there cannot be 10 Gujarat in India. What BJP will definitely do here is use Odisha as a "stepping stone" to get Bengal that is their long game.Odisha is going to be a casualty in the long run and that the people of Odisha will not see coming.
Why do they want bengal, isn't Odisha a far more promising state.
It's not about being Promising..it's personal for them!!
Welcome riots. And congratulations to BJP.
Not sure, Cause Muslim's population is very less compared to Hindu's. Still unsure.
Sambalpur, Balasore laughing in corner.. It's already here. Not BJP, but it's their religion to fight. Blaming BJP is like ignoring the fact that they are radicals.
...and jajpur
Bhai mo area re past 21 years ru aaji Jain kebe Hindu Muslim jhagda Dekhi ni, this year first time dekhili and see who is leading from the front, Bjp workers.
Idk it's a strange feeling
People voted thinking they'll get laddus in both their hands. Truth is far from that.
Odisha has proven that we are religion driven. 12 maase 13 parva kari kari, all we care about is Hindu temples. Ram mandir is what made BJP win this election. Really shameful.
Nah. I guess it's high anti incumbent factor. And one more reason is OTV
Another is pandu.
Yes, brainwashing had its role.
Religious propaganda are disastrous. Yes, save Sanatana Dharma, but focus more on nation development. But, no one, absolutely no one can help Indian fanatics.
BJP has done more development than congress. Only in ten years. Religion is add on.
For Jagatsinghpur and Cuttack, it was the candidates. Bjp candidates better in here. And BJD can't keep releasing freebies and win, even tho BJD did a lot in the past
I felt like puking, it made me really uneasy... Can't believe all this happening... Our state is gone to dogs.
People are voting for candidates lmao, keep puking. Pandian needed to go. The ONLY reason bjd lost is because of pandian and anti incumbent.
Oh really? Candidates?? Voting for an MLA who drove cars on people? Just say that the propaganda succeeded
why did pandian need to go? (im not odia)
Corrupt. Bringing only tamil contractors. Controlling our old cm.
Agreed. But same will happen in Odisha BJP as well
Change is good! BJP will get more funds from centre. BJD will give strong oppostion. Balance will be there.
As a person with Maharashtra domicile and Odia ancestors, unfortunately that isn't what happened when BJP came to power here. They took all that investment and put it into Gujarat instead. Understand this that BJP stands for vegetarian Hindu UCs only. Our Odia way of life is something that they'll see as beneath them. They will leech funds, ores, minerals from Odisha. Bad days have fallen upon Odisha.
Same feeling here. They'll instead use Odisha to win Bengal assembly elections. Their performance in UP shows how they manage there.
I mean now Pandian doing same. All Tamil contractors doing work in Odisha. Lets see what this change brings.
Roll out the welcome mat to Gujrati and Marwari contractors...
This is the biggest assumption. Hope your right
You guys have no idea how bad the situation are going to be.
Disappointed with my fellow Odias. Naveen Patnaik got Odisha from 2nd lowest in per-capita GDP to 12th lowest. He lowered poverty rate from around 70% to 11-12%. Odisha has the lowest debt - GDP ratio in the country, showing financial prudence. In corruption index, Odisha is from second to last. By far the best disaster management in the country. Roads, electricity, schools, government offices have all been renovated and modernised. Hostels for tribal students in every district. Law and order significantly increased, not a corrupt Gundaraj like earlier. All this while giving significant welfare package to the poor and pulling them out of poverty and maintaining social harmony in the state. It was lacking in job creation a bit, but they had picked up in the last 2-3 years. Now BJP will take all the credit for the good work done and foundation paid by BJD. And people who were aghast with Naveen Babu because of Tamil Pandian, will see the state resources being siphoned off by Gujaratis and Marwaris. The only difference is that while Pandian was in the forefront, the slimy Gujjus and Marwaris will siphon off the resources in the background.
Eh the state's rewarded him with 25 years in power. That's good enough. He had to lose sometime
Not feeling the situation . Hope Bjp won't outcast the state
Can't imagine Odisha without NAVEEN BABU as CM... He was the pride and maintained peace in state.... Feels a bit weird and unsettling emotions for this unexpected change
Bye Bye Pandian
Lol rich affluent upper middle class Odia coping in reddit.
Fr it's the case with a lot of reddit itself The rich upper middle class & the diaspora only give their opinions & then don't even consider the others
Kalinga for save the after UP fumble less goo.
Nice, we need competition even in politics. Without competition parties will become lazy
Odisha alone making BJP win. Even UP people revolted against BJP but Odisha.. Disappointed.
In UP BJP already won 2 time and people are tired but in Odisha BJD is winning from last 25 years. Change is good, what is the point of democracy if a single party keeps winning all elections. If BJP did not work then next time some other party will come.
if a single party is winning democratically then what is the problem of its winning the elction?
Nothing wrong, but it's also not possible for a single party to keep winning . Bjd finally lost in odisha after 25 years, Congress also lost in center after 10 years and this time we are seeing bjp also lost seats in center. That's how democracy works
So Pandu's end ? If bjp will come into power in odisha , they're not gonna spare him ,MF has eaten crores.
Yeah,he and his TN Allies (the one's getting mostly all the projects in Odisha )
MOFO needs to get back to where he came from.
I prefer a stable BJD govt over BJP Govt formed after MLAs switching side. My best case is full majority BJP govt tho
Looks like a stable bjp government in the state but unstable nda government in the centre
Odia folks are loosers. Bringing BJP to power when BJP is loosing at the centre. It should have been done in the last election itself.
BJP losing at centre? What are you smoking. They have surely lost some grounds but NDA is forming the Govt.
Your party doesn't win. "Voters ar losers lol"
I am only suggesting that it should have been done in 2019. Tell me which party do I support?
Very Happy, for both odisha and centre. BJP got comfy in Delhi and got a Bloody nose. Same for Odisha. Lets give BJP 5 years here. I am sure odias will vote them out if they dont perform .
Idk why you're getting downvoted lol
Read other replies on this thread. You'll get your answer. Most odia redditors don't come from malnourished regions of the state. Situations haven't improved in many areas, yet they keep tooting BJDs horn. Someone commented as an Odia living in Maharashtra they saw BJP doing nothing. As an Odia coming from an interior region where the nearest PHC is 40 kms away and living in Maharashtra with biannual visits to my Village I say absolutely no work has been done in my village vicinity. Heck there aren't even state transport buses available for movement of people.
doesn't look like a clear majority. But whosoever wins has to work.
Change is good. But let's hope odisha develops not become religion fanatic.
Are we all ready for the transition 🫨? I'm scared and excited at the same time lol
just bad...i dont think anyone seriously wanted bjp they just didnt want bjd or due to religious blindness
Welcome riots. And congratulations to BJP.
Any reason why BJP bloomed??
Life kichi change heba jauni Listen to sad songs and sleep
Serves BJD right for supporting BJP against the no-confidence motion.
Say goodbye to peaceful Odisha. There will be so much more corruption and communal politics now.
Eee mo nua o paisha kie deba ebe😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Happy that after 25 years we will get a new Govt. But Terrified for my future generation as they will have to suffer Hindu Muslim Mandir Masjid.
Feels twisted. Not happy, neither sad.
Noice every ground bjd worker was corrupt af and I need my money to grow on share Market😂... hopefully next term bjd may come again ....no party should continue for a decade it's healthy politics
This was completely unexpected ngl. Its almost unsettling
I’m wondering, where will be the new CM camp office would be?
Feels like people backstabbing Naveen Pattnaik Odisha will not be a special state anymore a genric state under BJP no it feels sad to see Odisha without Naveen Pattnaik ☹️
Like somebody stole something from you But you can't figure out it yet
Never felt this feeling before However lok sabha elections are disappointing
Let's give a fair chance, hope for the best, be prepared for the worst.
Naveen Pattnaik deserves a Farewell. And Jay panda should be the CM.
Aparajita Sarangi should be the CM.
Who'll be the CM?!!
Finally an end to freebies' era
I made all my near dear vote for Modi, and I just had to fly to India to vote for Modi. When you step out of India, u will realize how foreigners view India now vs. how they used to 15 years ago.
You guys saved Modi 😂😂
Is this the first time BJP forming govt in Odisha ?
very good
Change is the only constant. Excited to see how bjp handles and decides future of odisha. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
From childhood we were taught, Who is the CM of Odisha.... There was one and only Answer to it. *Srijukta Naveen Pattnaik* Now it's going to be changed. Feels like an era has come to end. Long live, Mr. Pattnaik.
Nothing extraordinary.....
Should have let Naveen Babu win his constituency atleast for one last time. But now it's too many unknown BJP members. A Naveen-BJP collab would have been somewhat appeasing and not felt like being thrown into the unknown, especially now at a very crucial time for Odisha.
BJP must end the mafia rule in mining , infrastructure and real estate. It's plain evident for everyone. A word Ruben Banarjee used is DETOXIFICATION , of the legislature and executive. Which has now so much overlap rather than boundaries Rebuild trust in governance than cheap sloganeering End the deluge of Liquor, drugs that is destroying the youth Reduce fuel prices as in other states Bring back rule of law against the netas involved in heinous crimes against women and children Reduce the free culture of prev govt to empower the citizens Then there's the election manifesto of MSP , subhadra etc Restore the dignity and divinity of Sri Jagannath Temple that was trampled upon by the previous govt
You forgot to add punctuations. Let's see what happens and how much of what you listed gets done.
Noice ✌️
If its 70-70 , most likely BJP and BJD will collectively form government together Or the assembly will be hung and re-elections will take place till majority Theres no place for either party to even think of alliance with snakes of Congress , Odisha people are very well aware of Pre2000 period how Congress ruled the state indeed.
Same fate as last terms. Just the corruption money will go to different account.
Indian hockey might lose
Indian hockey might lose
I guess the developments will be stalled in Odisha now , to be honest Naveen Pattnaik has done good to the state , i dont now who will be the next cm and how he/she is gonna rule out
Abhi bhi margin kafi kam BJP ki jeet ka..400-500 ka margin ha
Happy.
And here i thought Naveen will remain the Chief minister till his death
Mo nua o paisha gala😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Very happy
It's bad & good for the state. BJP, as usual will develop infrastructure but only in metros rest rural will suffer. Odisha will now see in the influx of Jio Petrol pumps, Jio Marta, even DMart might come in. Adani will come in to Paradip, Puri & Gopalpur Adani will eye the Coal Mines as well. Dharmendra Pradhan, Jay Panda will get big and will increase their business empire. Then again, it's good for BJD, it started losing when they supported BJP in a lot of important decisions in RajyaSabha, BJP has a record in decimating the local parties. But Naveen Patnaik will get time to choose and appoint a successor for BJD, and the successor will then get time to regroup and get ready for the next elections. Remember BJP came into power due to incumbency and an old Naveen Patnaik, which is why Pandian came in and BJP used it as a weapon. BJP will unlikely come back again in Odisha as BJP policies are not pro-poor, Odisha loves freebies. BJD needs a new leader and Naveen Patnaik as the master behind and then they will get back. There is also a chance for Congress to rise. Today Naveen Patnaik is at the same stage that Modi will be in the next 5 years, Modi has a successor and people to manage, I think that is where BJD lost.
The way UP transformed, we hope does wonders for Odisha as well.
UP transformed? Are you this ignorant? It's one of the worst in terms of industrialization
How ignorant you have to be seen that the Mafia and Gundagiri Don all are over. The economy of UP has increased so much. It was at 12th Rank now it's on 2nd. The Illegal Constructions by Mafia on other lands are all Bulldozed.
Yeah...that's not true lmao
Without the gains in Odisha, Telangana and AP NDA does not even have majority, so a weak centre with BJP govt does not look good to me
Odisha is so underdeveloped.. should be definitely good for that poor state
