Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will reshuffle his Council of Ministers today.

Ahead of the reshuffle, all the Council of Ministers resigned and sent their papers to the Chief Minister Patnaik, who happens to be the Biju Janata Dal Supremo.

Earlier on Saturday , Patnaik had asked all the ministers to submit their resignations to facilitate the ministry formation.

Governor Prof Ganeshi Lal, who is on a visit to Puri, has been informed about the oath taking ceremony programme ,which will be held at the state secretariat, the Lok Seva Bhavan on Sunday.

The new ministers will take the oath of office at 11.45 am at a function to be held at the Convention Centre on the premises of the Lok Seva Bhavan.

This will be the first reshuffle in the three-year-old ministry. The process needs to be completed by Monday as the governor is scheduled to go outside Odisha after two days.

The ministry reshuffle exercise began a day after the ruling BJD won three Rajya Sabha seats and the by-poll in the Brajrajnagar assembly constituency.
