Joining Chief Minister Majhi, Deputy Chief Ministers KV Singh Deo and Pravati Parida pledged their commitment to serve the state with unwavering dedication. Notable dignitaries such as Union Ministers JP Nadda, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and others, along with Chief Ministers Yogi Adityanath and Himanta Biswa Sarma, added grandeur to the occasion.
The formidable team of ministers sworn in encompassed a blend of experience and fresh perspective, poised to spearhead Odisha's transformative journey under BJP governance.
