Naveen Patnaik (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Naveen Patnaik is a writer and had for most part of his youth been away from both politics as well as Orissa but after his father's demise he entered politics and a year later founded the Biju Janata Dal which won the state election on alliance with the BJP and formed the government with Naveen Patnaik as the Chief Minister. His mild mannerism, stand against corruption and "pro-poor policies" have resulted in the development of a huge support base in Orissa which has voted him to power in the last three consecutive terms.
