The Fourteenth Odisha Legislative Assembly (also Orissa Legislative Assembly until 2011) was convened on after 2009 Orissa Legislative Assembly election. Biju Janata Dal led by Naveen Patnaik formed government for a record 3rd time.

Brief history

After breaking 11 year old alliance with BJP, BJD decided to fight upcoming election independently with limited seat-sharing agreement with NCP, CPM & CPI and won the 2009 Orissa Assembly election with a landslide. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik along with his council of ministers were sworn in by Governor Murlidhar Chandrakant Bhandare on 21 May 2009. Cabinet reshuffle took place on 10 May 2011 & 2 August 2012 on the backdrop of May 29 2012 political coup against Chief Minister by now expelled senior party leader & Rajya Sabha member Pyarimohan Mohapatra. Despite Modi Wave, BJD had a landslide victory in 2014 Odisha Assembly election. Subsequently, Shri Patnaik gave his resignation to Governor on 20 May 2014.
