Parties and campaigns BJD and BJP contested in all the 147 constituencies, whereas INC contested in 145 seats and provided support to other parties in the 2 remainder constituencies. Election manifesto of BJD included 24 major promises like youth empowerment, free electricity to farmers, zero interest loans to businesswomen, tribal empowerment, infrastructure and sports development, food security and good governance. [ 9] BJP's manifesto included 21 major points like the start of "Samruddha Krusaka Niti" under which paddy crop would receive ₹ 3,100 (US$37) price per quintal and "Subhadra Jojana" which would allow ₹ 50,000 (US$590) cash voucher to women. It also included development of fishing industry, increasing road connectivity, providing 3.5 lakh jobs by 2029, increasing tourism and more. BJP also focused on reducing the corrupt practices of the incumbent BJD government. [ 10]
Another important factor was the possibility of Naveen Patnaik, who had been ruling for the last 24 years, being succeeded by his personal secretary V. K. Pandian , a Tamil IAS officer. Pandian was favoured by Patnaik due to his effective management of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state . In 2023, Pandian quit his job in the state bureaucracy and joined the ruling BJD. The BJP heavily campaigned on the prospect of BJD planning to make an "outsider" like Pandian the next CM, [ 11] with Prime Minister Narendra Modi even alleging that Pandian was secretly siphoning off money from the treasury of Puri 's Jagannath Temple , [ 12] a charge which Pandian vehemently denied. [ 13] Patnaik refuted all rumours of Pandian being his successor. [ 14]

Aftermath On 4 June 2024, BJP won 78 seats crossing the required majority mark of 74 and thus won the elections. Mohan Charan Majhi was declared to be the Chief Minister and was sworn in on 12 June to form the state government. [ 24] [ 25] [ 26] 15 other ministers took oaths, including Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo and Pravati Parida as the Deputy CMs. [ 27]
Pandian was single-handedly blamed by the rank-and-file of BJD for its spectacular loss in both state election and the simultaneously held Lok Sabha elections . Following this massive backlash, Pandian decided to quit active politics. [ 28]
BJD had nominated 34 women candidates, but only 5 could win. The Hindu reported that although these women candidates were from political families, winnability factor was ignored and strong anti-incumbency feeling amongst the voters played an important role against them. [ 16] Ganesh Gaigouria, visiting faculty of National Law School of India University , Bengaluru writing for Indian Express commented that major three reasons for loss of BJD in the elections were fear of bureaucratisation of the state administration under Pandian, religious polarisation following communal clashes in 2023 between Hindus & Muslims in Sambalpur [ 29] and identity politics over Odia Asmita (i.e. pride in being Odia ) in the backdrop of the Tamil origin Pandian's prospects of becoming CM. Gaigouria argues that BJP successfully campaigned against BJD on these points and won the elections. [ 30]
Himanshu Sekhar Sahoo, Sarada Pradhan who were elected from the Dharmasala seat , Mahanga seat as independents, rejoined the BJP. [ 31]
