Naveen Patnaik never allowed two centers of power in BJD and Odisha government
As per report
1. Talked about development, focused on timing - After becoming the Chief Minister, naveen patnaik focused most on development. He worked to convey the schemes of the Center and the State to the people without getting into any conflict. Patnaik's Transformation formula is quite popular in Odisha.
According to experts, the development formula itself did not allow caste and religion based politics to succeed in Odisha. The Karana caste to which Patnaik belongs has less than 1 percent population in Odisha. In comparison, the population of other backward and Dalit-tribals is much higher.
2. Did not allow the center of power to be divided - naveen patnaik never allowed the formation of two centers of power in BJD and odisha government. Whenever any leader tried like this, he was shown the way out before time. The list of leaders who have been out include big names like Baijayant Pandya, Damodar Raut, Soumya Ranjan and Priyaranjan Mahapatra. Patnaik has also removed about one and a half dozen ministers from the post in the name of corruption. It is a matter of fact that no action was taken against most of the leaders later.
3. Made a strategy to have a separate assembly from the lok sabha - Having the lok sabha and the assembly together has proved beneficial for naveen Patnaik. Patnaik's party has proved to be a failure many times in the lok sabha, but has achieved a record victory every time in the assembly elections.
Not only this, in the places where it lost in the lok sabha, BJD registered a bumper victory in the Assembly. For example, in 2019, BJD candidates lost on Bargarh lok sabha seat, but BJD won all the seven assembly seats of this Lok Sabha. Similar results were also seen in Balasore, Bolangir, Kalahandi and bhubaneswar seats.
