In a major announcement, there has been a change in the grand swearing-in ceremony of the new Odisha Chief Minister of the newly elected BJP government. The mega event will now be held on June 12 instead of June 10, 2024.

On the other hand, the crucial meeting of the BJP legislative party which was also scheduled to be held on June 10, is likely to be held on June 11.

It is being said that PM Narendra Modi is scheduled to attend several crucial meetings tomorrow. Hence, the oath-taking ceremony of the new Odisha Chief Minister will be held after two days, informed BJP spokesperson Jatin Mohanty.

According to Mohanty, the oath-taking ceremony has been changed as PM Narendra Modi will be attending similar events in two other states. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to attend the oath-taking ceremony of the new Odisha CM which will be held at Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar.
