Biju Patnaik was elected as the chief minister of Odisha for second time in 1990 after Janata Dal secured a landslide victory in the 1990 Odisha Legislative Assembly election. The elections were held in February 1990. JD secured 123 seats out of 147 in the tenth Odisha Legislative Assembly.[1][2][3]

The Congress Party which was in power from 1980 to 1990 had lost the confidence of the people because of continuous intra-party squabbles and allegation of corruption.

Chief Minister Biju Patnaik along with 9 Cabinet Ministers, 5 Minister of State and 1 Deputy Minister were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Yagya Dutt Sharma on 15 March 1990.

Further cabinet was expanded/reshuffled in 24 July 1990, 1 January 1991, 4 December 1991 and 4 January 1993.
