Welfare state

The Hindu  

In the run-up to the simultaneouselections held to the Assembly and the Lok Sabha in Odisha, Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal president Naveen Patnaik told journalists that he had no national ambitions and his interest was to see to the State’s development and the welfare of its people. Even though many voters got swayed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s narrative on nationalism and voted for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Lok Sabha seats, the 21-year-old regional party virtually repeated its performance in the Assembly elections held in 2014. Patnaik’s hard work and strategy not only countered BJP national president Amit Shah’s avowed intention to win 120 Assembly seats in Odisha but also kept the saffron party’s efforts to sweep the Lok Sabha election in the State. Patnaik’s charisma also helped his party enhance its vote percentage from the previous Assembly elections though it decreased a little with regard to the Lok Sabha. In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, the BJD’s vote share was 44.77 per cent, the BJP’s 21.88 per cent and the Congress’ 26 per cent.
