    As the BJP-led government in Odisha completes its first year in office, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has said that his government has fulfilled half of the 21 promises made ahead of last year’s elections.

    The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may finally have its new national president within the next few weeks. Party sources have confirmed that new state party chiefs in some major states will be appointed within the coming week, paving the way for the election of the national president.
