About
Naveen Patnaik is Leader of Opposition in Odisha and served as Chief Minister for 24 consecutive years from 2000 to 2024, the second longest-serving CM in Indian history. Son of Odisha icon Biju Patnaik, he transformed the state's disaster management and welfare delivery despite being seen as reclusive and non-political. He represents the Hinjili constituency, which he has held since 2000. His shock defeat to BJP in 2024 stunned Indian politics, ending BJD's unbroken dominance.
