Naveen Patnaik was elected as chief minister of Odisha for the third time in 2009 after securing a landslide victory in 2009 Odisha Legislative Assembly election. The elections were held in the state in two phases coinciding with 2009 Indian general election. The results were declared on 16 May 2009. Biju Janata Dal secured 103 seats out of 147 in the fourteenth Odisha Legislative Assembly, becoming the first ever regional party to come to power on its own in the state. The ministry was informally known as Naveen 3.0.
