The BJD abstained from voting in the September 9 vice-presidential elections, which benefited Radhakrishnan, who was the NDA candidate.
Following the oath-taking ceremony, Chief Minister Majhi and Odisha’s Health and Family Welfare Minister Mukesh Mahaling met with BJP national president and Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda in New Delhi.
“Today in New Delhi, I had the honour of meeting our party’s Hon’ble National President and Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Shri @JPNadda Ji. The Hon’ble Health Minister of Odisha, Shri Mukesh Mahaling, was also present during the meeting,” Majhi said in a social media post.
Majhi said they had an insightful discussion on Odisha’s “people-centric initiatives, strengthening healthcare services, developing health infrastructure, and shaping the future roadmap.”
