Following Cong (I) victory in 1980 Indian general election, Opposition led state govt were dismissed and early election were called. Dissatisfied with Janata Govt., Cong (I) was voted to power in 1980 Orissa Assembly election. Chief Minister Janaki Ballabh Patnaik along with 7 Cabinet ministers, 10 Ministers of state and 1 deputy minister were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor C. M. Poonacha at the Raj Bhavan, Bhubaneswar on 9 June 1980.[3]
Ministry was further expanded on 14 July 1981 & 10 February 1984.[3]
Following Cong win in 1985 Orissa Assembly election due to the sympathy wave created by the unfortunate death of Indira Gandhi, Chief Minister Janaki Patnaik resigned on 10 March 1985.
