Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday thanked the people of Odisha as the state marked two years since the historic mandate that brought the Bharatiya Janata Party to power in June 2024.
Majhi said the continued support of the people would strengthen the government’s mission to build a developed and prosperous Odisha.
In a post on X, the Chief Minister wrote, “On June 4, 2024, the people of Odisha gave a historic mandate for change, good governance and development. Over the past two years, guided by the hopes and trust of the people, the double-engine government has taken many historic steps towards the all-round development of the state.”
Emphasising that public trust remained the government’s greatest strength, Majhi added, “The trust of the people is the strength of our government, and service to the people is our resolve. With your cooperation, this journey to build a Viksit Odisha will become even stronger in the coming days.”
The Chief Minister said the decisive mandate received by the BJP had inspired his government to become more responsible, committed and dedicated to public service.
“In the past two years, our government has strived to fulfil every promise and live up to the trust of the people. Your trust is our inspiration, and your dreams are our resolve. Let us all come together to build a strong, prosperous and glorious Odisha,” Majhi said.
President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are scheduled to attend a special programme at Rairangpur in Mayurbhanj district on June 20 to commemorate the BJP-led Odisha government’s completion of two years in office.
The Chief Minister’s Office confirmed their participation in an official statement issued on Tuesday. Majhi had invited the Prime Minister and other dignitaries during his recent visit to New Delhi.
The BJP formed the government in Odisha for the first time in June 2024 after securing an absolute majority in the Assembly elections. The result ended the Biju Janata Dal’s 24-year rule in the state.
