“As an advocate, he has knowledge in laws. Also he had served efficiently as a minister in the last ministry. I am sure he will be a successful Speaker,” said Naveen. Protem Speaker V. Sugnana Kumari Deo, who presided over the session, put the motion to voice vote and it was approved unanimously. Pujari was welcomed by Naveen, Tara Prasad Bahinipati of the Congress and Duryodhan Majhi of the BJP.

The newly elected Speaker was conducted to his podium by Naveen and Opposition members. Pujari thanked all members and sought their support and cooperation in smooth conduct of business. The Assembly was adjourned for an indefinite period.
