Besides, the majority of the strength of the House should be present for voting. The Upper House has a strength of 245 members.<\/p>\n<p>Lok Sabha has already adopted these measures after the Centre received the resolution passed by the state Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>While there was all round support for the measure, BJP and Congress members sought to target Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik charging him with non-performance and heading a government facing scams.<\/p>\n<p>The bills were piloted by Home Minister P Chidambaram . However, the electronic voting system witnessed glitches during the division so much so that even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh&#8217;s vote was also cast wrongly.<\/p>\n<p>Participating in the debate, members said the name change was the process of decolonisation as Britishers had changed the Indian names of cities and states.<\/p>\n<p>Pyarimohan Mohapatra (BJD) said it was a &#8220;great moment&#8221; for people of the state and added that with the change of name, they are getting back their pride.<\/p>\n<p>R C Khuntia (Cong) rued that the state, which was prosperous once, has become poverty-stricken. He, however, hoped the change of name will fulfil aspirations of people.<\/p>\n<p>He said the state was facing many scams and corruption charges in the present rule.<\/p>\n<p>Rudra Narayan Pany (BJP) charged the Orissa Chief Minister with non-performance and said Patnaik could not speak even the local language. His colleague Chandan Mitra said, &#8220;Orissa regains its prestige and sense of history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mitra said while India&#8217;s heritage was revered in many parts of the world, &#8220;we have forgotten our own heritage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There have been many cities and states that have been renamed after independence.
