Orissa Assembly Election Results in 2009

Elections to the 14th Legislative Assembly of Orissa were held in May 2009. This Assembly is presently in progress. 1288 candidates from various political parties were in fray, contesting in a total of 147 Assembly constituencies, out of which 90 seats were reserved for General candidates, 24 seats were reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates and 33 Assembly seats were reserved for Scheduled Tribe contestants. A total of 1,77,65,071 valid votes were cast in which the Biju Janata Dal won by a thumping majority of 103 seats, and thus forming the government. While the Congress retained 27 Assembly seats, the BJP lost its appeal in the state, winning a mere 6 seats. None of the other parties could put up a tough fight to the Naveen Patnaik-led BJD. President of Supreme Court Bar Association Murlidhar Chandrakant Bhandare remained the Governor from the beginning of his term till March 2013 when he passed away. Former Chief Minister of Nagaland S. C. Jamir, who was sworn in as Governor in March 2013 holds the office currently. Pradip Kumar Amat has been unanimously elected as the Speaker of the Orissa Vidhan Sabha during this period. Naveen Patnaik, President of the Biju Janata Dal, continues in the office of the Chief Minister of Orissa for a third consecutive term, owing to his welfarist schemes for the people. Bhupinder Singh of the Congress is recognized as the Leader of Opposition in the Orissa Assembly.

Some of the historic achievements of the Odisha (Orissa) government during this period are in launching a food security scheme in the state, wherein 60 lakh beneficiaries are given rice at rupees 1 per kilogram of rice. The BJD government has ensured shelter for the homeless people affected in the many cyclones and floods hitting the state of Odisha (Orissa), the recent being the effective management by Patnaik of cyclone Phailin. Through the ‘Biju Sethu Yojna’ and the ‘Gopabandhu Gramin Yojna’, the Patnaik government has ensured construction of new bridges and enhanced rural connectivity within the state.
