Topic: Biju Patnaik

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		On the morning of May 13, Naveen Patnaik was closeted with a few young leaders of his party inside the chill interiors of Naveen Niwas when television channels started flashing news of a decisive lead for the ruling Biju Janata Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party coalition.
		Patnaik was lucky to have survived the prevailing anti-incumbency that had thrown out the Vajpayee government at the Centre, as also N. Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra Pradesh and S.M. Krishna in Karnataka.
		Biju Patnaik had had to wait for nearly three decades to become chief minister again in 1990.

		Though born in Cuttack, Patnaik did his schooling at the prestigious Doon School in Dehradun, Uttar Pradesh, and graduated in humanities from the University of Delhi in 1967.
		The language has eluded Patnaik despite his being the son of illustrious Oriya politician and former chief minister, the late Biju Patnaik.
		Patnaik's decision to learn Oriya is a blessing in disguise for government officials and his party leaders, a close associate said.

	GN Online: BJP concerned over split in Orissa's BJD
		Patnaik's lack of political acumen and his over-dependence on bureaucrats and a coterie around him has been the major reason for alienation of several senior party leaders.
		Dilip Ray, a close associate of Patnaik's legendary politician father Biju Patnaik and a founder member of the party, was rubbed the wrong way when he was first dropped from the federal cabinet at Patnaik's insistence and then expelled from the party.
		Ray got even with Patnaik by winning the Rajya Sabha election as an independent with active support of the BJD rebels and some members of the BJP and is now seen as author of the move to dislodge Patnaik from both posts.

	The Hindu : Naveen Patnaik's travails
		THE SPLIT IN the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), after at least half a dozen members of the Lok Sabha belonging to the party decided to form a separate group, was indeed in the making ever since Naveen Patnaik took over the party after his father, Biju Patnaik's demise.
		Naveen Patnaik was a novice on the political scene, his anointment as party chief was essentially an outcome of behind-the-scenes manipulations carried out by a whole lot of young leaders (now leading the revolt) who constituted the organisational muscle of the party.
		Even when Biju Patnaik was alive, there were instances when a section of the second generation leaders in the fold had begun asserting their right to lead the party.

	Another sena in land of armies - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The commonly known outfits are the Biju Sena, the Nalini Sena, and the Atal Sena.
		While the Biju Sena was floated by the fans of the late chief minister, Biju Patnaik, the Nalini Sena was formed a couple of years ago by diehard supporters of Nalini Mohanty, former state minister, who is now a Congress MLA after his short stint as president of the Biju Janata Dal.
		Naveen Patnaik, Biju Patnaik’s successor, did not lend a helping hand to keep the Biju Sena going which triggered speculation in political circles that the Patnaik junior was clearing the way for his supporters to launch a fresh sena: the Naveen Sena.

		Biju Patnaik's son, Naveen, has scored a stunning victory over his father's old rival, J.B. Patnaik, by winning 16 of the 21 seats in the state for the recently created Biju Janata Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance.
		Unfortunately for him, his desire to lay claim to Biju's legacy is challenged by a host of his father's followers as well as the BJP, which is trying to appropriate the strong anti-Congress base in Orissa.
		Patnaik eventually revoked the suspension orders but his detractors are now shy of criticising him openly -- for themoment at least.

	archive: Sonia's gambit: Patnaik's fall may be Congress' rise
		Patnaik has been the undisputed leader of the party in Orissa for the last two decades, and has a strong band of loyalists who have benefitted from favours he has bestowed.
		Patnaik knows that the Congress is a power-driven organisation and his successor, with backing from the high command, can easily neutralise his control over the party.
		Patnaik’s loyalists may question the “timing” of his ouster, but there is no denying that his government had become immensely unpopular.

		Patnaik's success has come on the back of a concerted campaign by the chief minister to root out corruption, which has gone down well both in the urban and rural communities.
		Clearly Patnaik, son of the state's legendary leader the colourful Biju Patnaik, has grown in stature in office, with the opposite being true of the Congress J.B. Patnaik.
		Patnaik however will emerge stronger not just in Orissa but also in the NDA alliance, where in the light of poor performances by his counterpart in Andhra Pradesh, his 16 seats will be even more valuable to the depleted alliance.
