The BJP won 74 seats in the 147-member Odisha Assembly and was leading in four more seats. Simultaneously, celebrations broke out at Telugu Desam Party (TDP) offices across Andhra Pradesh as the TDP-led alliance, comprising the TDP, BJP, and Jana Sena Party, decimated the ruling YSRCP government led by Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The NDA alliance is leading in over 150 of the 175 Assembly seats and 21 of the 25 Lok Sabha seats, a stark contrast to the YSRCP’s 2019 landslide victory.
In Odisha, the BJD has won 50 seats and was leading in one seat. Chief Minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik won from the Hinjili seat by defeating his nearest BJP rival Sisir Kumar Mishra by 4,636 votes.
The Congress has won 14 seats while the CPI(M) has won one seat.
Independent candidates won in three assembly seats. They were Himansu Sekhar Sahu (Dharmasala), Bijay Kumar Dalbehera (Baramba) and Sarada Prasad Pradhan (Mahanga).
