Odisha's outgoing Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, leader of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), said the party should not be ashamed of its 24-year rule despite the recent election loss. Patnaik highlighted the progress made during his tenure, noting a significant reduction in poverty and improvements in education, health, and agriculture. The BJP won 78 of the 147 Assembly seats, ending BJD's long rule. Patnaik resigned after the results, and the BJP is set to form the state government for the first time.
