The Thirteenth Orissa Legislative Assembly was convened after 2004 Orissa Legislative Assembly election. National Democratic Alliance led by Naveen Patnaik formed government again.

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. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik along with his council of minister were sworn in by Governor M. M. Rajendran 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. Cabinet reshuffle took place on 17 May 2006 & 5 February 2008. 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.
