Mohan Majhi
Chief Minister
About
Mohan Charan Majhi became Chief Minister of Odisha in June 2024 after BJP ended Naveen Patnaik's extraordinary 24-year rule. Born on 6 January 1972 in Raikala village, Keonjhar district, he belongs to the Santal tribal community — the first Santal and third person of tribal origin to become Odisha CM. First elected MLA from Keonjhar in 2000 and re-elected multiple times, he was a surprise selection as CM reflecting BJP's strategy of projecting a grassroots tribal leader for the state.
