Brief history
Nadini Satpathy's first term as Chief minister lasted for mere 9 months as the govt fell due to large-scale defection from the ruling party. Major party position's were continuously fluctuating with merger and counter merger & defection and counter defection. Due to high instability in the state assembly, President's Rule was imposed on 3 March 1973 for over a year. Snap election were held on 1974. Cong (R) led by Smt. Nandini Satpathy won the 1974 Assembly election. On 6 March 1974, Smt. Satpathy along with 4 Cabinet ministers, 8 Ministers of state and 3 deputy ministers were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor B. D. Jatti at the Raj Bhavan, Bhubaneswar.[3]
Ministry was further expanded on 20 October 1975.[3]
Due to her rising unpopularity and unhappy with her style of functioning, Cong (R) MLAs forced Smt. Satpathy to resign on 16 December 1976. The State was placed under President's rule with the Assembly being kept under suspended animation. On 29 December 1976, President's rule was lifted of and Shri Binayak Acharya was sworn in as the new Chief Minister.
