The curtains are drawn on the Biju Janata Dal’s tenure in Odisha, ending the 24-year rule of the party in the state. On Wednesday, Naveen Patnaik resigned as the Odisha Chief Minister to pave the way for the formation of the first BJP government in the state.

In the elections held recently, the BJP bagged 78 of the 147 seats in the Odisha Legislative Assembly while the BJD fell short of the majority mark with 51 seats. With the decks now cleared, all eyes are now on the BJP over which leader it picks to lead the state as Chief Minister.
