Naveen Patnaik was elected as the chief minister of Odisha for the second time in 2004 after NDA secured a landslide victory in the 2004 Odisha Legislative Assembly election. The elections were called early and were held in the state in two phases coinciding with 2004 Indian general election. The results were declared on 13 May 2004. NDA secured 93 seats out of 147 in the thirteenth Odisha Legislative Assembly. BJD secured 61 seats while BJP secured 32 seats, upsetting the Congress party which was led by former CM Janaki Ballabh Patnaik. This was a saving grace for the NDA as it lost the 2004 Indian general election.
