	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.
		While the popular vote for Naveen was a measure of the reverence bestowed on his father, Patnaik also owes the victory to his clean image and the statesman-like image of Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

		In 1990 when Biju Patnaik became the chief minister of Orissa for the second time, one of his first jobs was to invite Posco to set up what was envisaged as the second integrated steel facility in Orissa after the Rourkela Steel Plant, built in the early 1960s.
		In fact, Patnaik’s keenness on the Posco plan could be gauged from the fact that soon after the executive vice-president of the company, Cho Sang Sik, had made a formal presentation to the chief minister on the project in August last year, the state government had formed a high-level working group to pilot the venture.
		Politically, it was important for Patnaik to show results in the second phase of his chief ministership, the first (from 2000 to 2004) being a period of consolidation.

		Naveen Patnaik paces up and down his living room trying to explain why a man would want to make his political debut at the age of 50, particularly when he's had little or nothing to do with public life.
		But to anyone who's known Naveen, the decision to commute between the rarefied environs of his Aurangzeb Road house in Delhi and Aska, a dusty township north-west of Behrampore (the closest airport, Bhubaneshwar is a three-hour drive away), and contest a poll must come as a surprise.
		Until six weeks ago, Naveen was merely a writer: the author of three elegantly produced books, A Second Paradise (on Indian courtly life from 1590 to 1947), A Desert Kingdom (on the Rajputs of Bikaner) and The Garden of Life (on the healing plants of India).

		The two stalwarts Biju Patnaik and Singh Deo came together and formed an "united front" with the Jharkhand Party (which had four MLAs) and decided that a 'compromise candidate' should be invited to head the coalition government.
		It was virtually a battle between the Congress and the rest led by Biju Patnaik in Orissa in the post-emergency era when either the Congress or the Biju-led Janata (1977-80 and 1990-95) which won clear - in many cases landslide - victories in the 1977, 1980, 1985, 1990 and 1995 assembly polls.
