Naveen Patnaik - man of all seasons... (The New Indian Express)

In 1997, the Janata Dal split and he founded the Biju Janata Dal which in alliance with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance performed well. He served as ...

His politics too has undergone a change – a conscious shift to sports development which has made him a role model in the country as his promotion of hockey has brought international success for India. At the same time, with carefully-designed schemes like KALIA, Mission Shakti and temple development, he has remained miles ahead of the Opposition. Despite his growing popularity and BJD’s increasing numbers, Naveen has sided with NDA on matters of national interest such as Article 370, CAA displaying a rare sense of political wisdom in the current times. During the period, when the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) was in power at the Centre, Naveen coined the theory of equidistance between BJP and Congress which remains the ideological core of the BJD till now. He has found allies, encountered adversity and coursed through challenging times only to emerge as the man of all seasons, whose immaculate sense of political inventiveness combined with awareness of the electorate has become stuff of the legend. And the regional party has only grown bigger in its political footprint ever since.

But even before the Naveen Patnaik government started the contractual appointment system for Group C and D posts in various departments, it had started experimenting with the system in school and mass education department in 2004. However, the government may have made a virtue out of necessity as the Supreme Court recently passed order on stopping contractual appointments,” said Kanungo. “The terms and conditions of the contractual employment meant that we were at the whims and mercies of the government’s moods and we could be fired any moment. The abolition of the contractual system of appointment started formally in 2013 to keep a check on burgeoning salary and pension bills. But in Odisha, the era of contractual recruitment has come to an end. In 2013, the state government notified the Odisha Group-C and Group-D posts (contractual employment) Rules under which recruitments were made towards existing vacancies as per routine recruitment procedure like it did for normal government employees.
