Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik Thursday told the state Assembly that an empowered and inclusive Odisha is the goal of his government.

Patnaik, who become chief minister of Odisha for fifth time in a row, said this while replying to the motion of thanks on the Governor's address to the Assembly.

The chief minister said the state will have a policy of constructive cooperation with the Central government and the only agenda would be state's development and welfare of four and half crore people of Odisha.

"An empowered, inclusive Odisha is our goal and people of Odisha have blessed us to realise this goal. My government will leave no stone unturned towards achieving this goal," Patnaik said.

Stating that the will of the people is supreme in a democracy, Patnaik said: "I bow to the verdict of our people who have given us yet another opportunity to serve the state. The faith that the people have reposed in us is clearly reflected in the mandate."
