Naveen Patnaik was elected as the chief minister of Orissa for the second time in 2004 after NDA secured a landslide victory in the 2004 Orissa Legislative Assembly election. The elections were called early and were held in the state in two phases coinciding with 2004 Indian general election. The results were declared on 13 May 2004. NDA secured 93 seats out of 147 in the thirteenth Orissa Legislative Assembly. BJD secured 61 seats while BJP secured 32 seats, upsetting the Congress party which was led by former CM Janaki Ballabh Patnaik. This was a saving grace for the NDA as it lost the 2004 Indian general election.
Brief history Assembly was dissolved early almost a year ahead & election were called in line with 2004 Indian general election. NDA lost the general election but won 2004 Orissa Assembly election. Shri Patnaik resigned on 15 May 2004 paving way for new govt.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik along with 14 Cabinet Ministers and 7 Minister of State with Independent Charges were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor M. M. Rajendran at the Raj Bhavan, Bhubaneswar on 16 May 2004. The BJD had the larger share of representation in the ministry with 14 ministers including the Chief Minister while the BJP had eight.
The first Cabinet reshuffle took place on 17 May 2006 after the resignation of 3 ministers in the previous month. Second Cabinet reshuffle took place on 5 February 2008 where oath was administered by Governor Murlidhar Chandrakant Bhandare at the Raj Bhavan, Bhubaneswar.
Following 2008 Kandhamal violence & failure of seat-sharing talks, BJD broke its alliance with BJP. In protest, BJP left the government on 9 March 2009 and tried to pass a motion of no confidence against the govt. in the assembly, which the govt. of the day defended successfully following which assembly was dissolved.
BJD decided to fight upcoming election independently with limited seat-sharing agreement with NCP, CPM & CPI and won the 2009 Orissa Assembly election with a landslide. Subsequently, Shri Patnaik resigned on 20 May 2009, paving way for the new govt.
