In a bid to pave way for reshuffle of the ministry on Sunday, all 20 ministers of the Odisha government submitted their resignation letters as per the direction of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, officials said.

Patnaik, who is all set to give a new look to his ministry before the 2024 elections to the Lok Sabha and Assembly, had asked the ministers to resign. This is for the first time in the political history of Odisha that all ministers were directed to quit.
