During a meeting of BJD MLAs, Naveen Patnaik was elected as the leader of the opposition as well as the leader of the BJD Parliamentary Party. It is after 24 years that Naveen Patnaik is to participate in the state assembly not as chief minister.
Earlier today, Mohan Charan Manjhi was chosen as the next chief minister of Odisha. With Manjhi Odisha is going to have a new CM face after 24 years. BJD leader Naveen Patnaik ruled the state since March 2000.
Pandian is a retired IAS officer of the 2000 batch, who has served as private secretary to Naveen Patnaik for over two decades. He has been a close aide of Patnaik since years. In 2023, he took voluntary retirement from the service and joined the BJD.

The Assembly poll in the state is likely to be held along with the parliamentary elections, and the party hopes that the presence of Panda will brighten its prospects, especially in coastal Odisha.
