Although the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is backing Sangma, its leaders were not seen at the reception. Sangma went straight to the official residence of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik from the airport.
The BJD has 108 members in the state's 147 member assembly. It has 14 members in the Lok Sabha and 7 in Rajya Sabha. Patnaik announced his party's support for Sangma in May and was also the first to sign as a proposer on his nomination papers.
