According to the sources he is would move to Naveen Niwas and take stock of current political situation in the state. He would discuss with the party leaders about the recent development in the party.

Patnaik was greeted by ministers Prafulla Ghadai, Raghunath Mohanty and D P Mishra among others and leaders with bouquets and garlands.

A large number partymen carrying placards and banners stormed the airport premises breaking the security cordon and shouted 'Naveen Patnaik Zindabad' and 'Naveen is our leader'.

Patnaik smiled and shook hands and waved to the people before setting out in a huge procession to his residence, Naveen Niwas.

The entire route leading from Biju Patnaik airport to Naveen Niwas was thronged with BJD workers as well as common people who burst crackers and beat drums.

The show of strength was on display apparently to allay fear of any threat to Patnaik's position as chief minister and BJD chief after powerful party MP Pyari Mohan Mohapatra held a meeting with some MLAs and ministers at is home on Tuesday night fuelling apprehension of dissidence.

Patnaik, earlier in the day said in Delhi that he would consult party members after reaching Bhubaneswar about the developments that took place in his absence.

"I will certainly see what has to be done," he said.
