The political landscape in Odisha is abuzz with speculation following Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi's meeting with Governor Haribabu Kambhampati. While officials described the encounter as merely a courtesy call, it has fueled rumors of an imminent cabinet overhaul.

State BJP president Manmohan Samal has indicated that discussions with central party leadership about the ministry's expansion are underway. Samal's remarks have added weight to the swirling talks of possible changes within Majhi's team.

Majhi, who assumed office on June 12, 2024, has six vacant ministerial positions, intensifying curiosity about the timing and nature of the governor meeting, especially after recent interactions with Prime Minister Modi and high-ranking party leaders.
