Hindu Editorial Vocab On BJP Government In Odisha

Odisha’s newly sworn-in Chief MinisterMohan Charan Majhi, the first politician from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to occupy the post in the State, will also be making a new record while thwarting a long-standing one. His predecessor (someone who had a job or a position before someone else, or something that comes before another thing in time or in a series), Naveen Patnaik of the Biju Janata Dal, was the Chief Minister for 24 years and 99 days – the second longest tenure for any one in India, after Pawan Kumar Chamling who served 66 days longer in Sikkim. Mr. Majhi is from the Santali tribe and his ascension (the process of rising to a position of higher importance, rank, or success) shows the assiduousness with which the BJP has sought to win the support of the tribal communities in central and east India — also reflected in its endorsement (the act of saying that you approve of or support something or someone) of President Droupadi Murmu when she stood as a candidate. Mr. Majhi has rich experience as a legislator and a political organiser, having begun his political journey as an administrator. He was a village sarpanch in the late 1990s. His ascension marks a breakthrough for the BJP, which successfully projected (planned for the future or calculated based on information already known) the image of the BJD being rudderless without Mr. Patnaik as well as his dependence on the bureaucracy having steadily eroded the BJD of its second-rung of leadership. As the Achilles heel of the BJD too, this bureaucratic over-dependence was used to not only provide governance and implement policies endorsed by Mr. Patnaik, but also in political outreach (an effort to bring services or information to people where they live or spend time). The BJP has steadfastly grown as the alternative to the BJD with the decline of the Congress.

Mr. Majhi’s swearing-in ceremony also marked a return to a degree of political bonhomie with the BJD after a bitter and personal campaign targeting Mr. Patnaik’s lieutenant, V.K. Pandian, for his Tamil roots. The optics were encouraging (to make someone more likely to do something, or to make something more likely to happen) and the BJP should focus on bringing continuity to some of the BJD’s initiatives (a new plan or process to achieve something or solve a problem) in the State that have allowed for faster GDP growth, better delivery of services and welfare measures in the rural areas, and better diversification of an economy that is dependent on agriculture. Yet, for all its successes in reducing poverty and diversifying (to start to include more different types or things) its economy, Odisha still remains among the poorest States in the country, with an estimated 11.07% of its population below the Multidimensional Poverty Index in 2023, according to NITI-Aayog and only six major States having higher numbers. Mr. Majhi and his colleagues have their task cut out. Odisha rewarded Mr. Patnaik with a long tenure not just for governance but also for bringing peace to a State that has seen communal riots in its tribal regions at a time when his party was in alliance with the BJP. The BJP should not interpret (to decide what the intended meaning of something is) this mandate as one that endorses its ideology of Hindutva and return to those days of communal disharmony (the situation in which there is disagreement and unpleasant feeling between people). Instead, it must focus on continuing the developmental work in Odisha.
