Elected members
[edit]Analysis & Govt Formation
[edit]Due to poor handling of 1999 Odisha cyclone and rise in corruption & criminal cases etc. led to rise of unpopularity of Congress, which eventually led to their dismissal performance in 2000 election.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik along with 14 Cabinet Ministers, 6 Minister of State with Independent Charges and 4 Minister of State were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor M. M. Rajendran at the Raj Bhavan, Bhubaneswar on 5 March 2000. The BJD had the larger share of representation in the ministry with 16 ministers including the Chief Minister while the BJP had 9.
