In a historic political shift, Mohan Charan Majhi, a four-time MLA and tribal leader, was officially sworn in as Odisha's first BJP Chief Minister. The inauguration ceremony took place at Janata Maidan and was graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alongside a host of Union ministers and chief ministers from BJP-governed states.
