Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janta Dal (BJD) supremo Naveen Patnaik tendered his resignation to Governor Raghubar Das at Raj Bhawan in Bhubaneswar. BJD has been in power in Odisha since 1997 and Patnaik was appointed CM on March 5, 2000. This time, the party managed to bag only 51 seats in the 147-seat state assembly. Also, BJD failed to win even a single seat in the Lok Sabha elections as BJP bagged 20 out of 21 constituencies.
