'If I were to put a number, I would say that the BJP is likely to inch very close to the halfway majority mark in the Odisha Vidhan Sabha elections. We will see after June 4, if the BJP gets an absolute majority, that's a different game altogether, they form the govt.

But even if they don't, if they are near the majority mark, I think there will be a lot of interesting political developments happening. And Odisha, in that case, is likely to have a BJP-led coalition government, says Jaideep Mazumdar in this episode of What This Means with Diksha.

Why does he say so? How many seats is the BJP likely to gain in LS from Odisha? What are the major issues facing the people of Odisha? We discuss all this and more. (Recorded on 30-5-2024)
