The Tenth Orissa Legislative Assembly was convened after 1990 Orissa Legislative Assembly election.
The Congress Party which was in power from 1980 to 1990 had lost the confidence of the people because of continuous intra-party squabbles and allegation of corruption. Janata Dal led by Biju Patnaik came to power after winning in landslide 123 seats. Chief Minister Biju Patnaik along with 9 Cabinet Ministers, 5 Minister of State and 1 Deputy Minister were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Yagya Dutt Sharma on 15 March 1990. Further cabinet was expanded/reshuffled on 24 July 1990, 1 January 1991, 4 December 1991 and 4 January 1993. Shri Patnaik resigned on 15 March 1995 following his party's defeat in 1995 Odisha Legislative Assembly election.
