Bhubaneshwar : Bureaucracy in Odisha may undergo a sea change under the new BJP regime which secured absolute majority in the recently held Assembly elections. Outgoing Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is known for his pro-people popular yet highly-centralised government and is also known for his decentralised Odisha model of administration where officers enjoy adequate freedom in the working. This may witness a see change.
With the end of Patnaik era, the new BJP government may go for a complete rehash. It is to be seen whether the entire setup will be reshuffled or there will be a gradual change that depends upon the new Chief Minister of the state.
The way top leadership of the BJP had been attacking the most powerful bureaucrat-turned-politician of Odisha V Karthikeyan Pandian throughout the Assembly election, speculation is rife about the future of bureaucratic setup in Odisha
