In a strategic move, Odisha's Leader of Opposition Naveen Patnaik has formed a 50-member shadow cabinet to hold the ruling BJP accountable. The shadow cabinet, inspired by the UK model, comprises former ministers who will monitor each government department and prepare alternative policies. This move comes ahead of the state assembly's budget session, starting next Monday. Patnaik, former Chief Minister, aims to ensure the Opposition remains a strong voice for the people, keeping tabs on the government's actions and offering alternative solutions. This move signals Patnaik's intent to remain a significant force in Odisha's political landscape.
