TNI Editorial Desk: Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi received a much-needed political boost as PM Narendra Modi publicly endorsed both his leadership and government’s performance, sending a clear message to the detractors. Praising Majhi, Modi said Odisha is witnessing accelerated growth and development under his leadership.

Amid growing challenges and public discontent over the past few months, the endorsement has provided Mohan Sarkar with some breathing space. The message from the BJP leadership was unmistakable. Majhi is here to stay, with the tribal actor still carrying weight. However, this respite should be utilised for course correction, improving governance and restoring eroding public confidence.
