'''1998 Indian general election in Orissa''' were held on 16, 22 and 28 February 1998 to elect the members of the [[12th Lok Sabha|twelfth]] [[Lok Sabha]]. The elections were held three years ahead of schedule after the government led by [[Inder Kumar Gujral]] collapsed when the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) withdrew its support in November 1997.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-757497.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103054302/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-757497.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 November 2012|title=Government Falls, Indian Premier Quits; Coalition Splits Amid Gandhi Assassination Debate|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=29 November 1997|access-date=22 March 2019}}</ref>

The result was another hung parliament, with no party or alliance able to muster a majority. However, [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee]] of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] was able to form a coalition government led by the [[National Democratic Alliance]] with the outside support of the [[Telugu Desam Party]]. He was sworn in as [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] with support from 272 of 543 MPs. However, his government collapsed on 17 April 1999 when the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] withdrew its support, after Vajpayee refused to meet the demands of its leader [[J. Jayalalithaa]], namely halting the [[J. Jayalalithaa#Corruption cases|corruption cases]] against her and the sacking of the [[Government of Tamil Nadu|Tamil Nadu government]] led by her bete-noire [[M. Karunanidhi]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/BJPs-one-vote-defeat-in-1999-was-narrowest-in-history/articleshow/3261721.cms|title=BJP's one-vote defeat in 1999 was narrowest in history|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=22 March 2019|archive-date=25 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201225090822/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/BJPs-one-vote-defeat-in-1999-was-narrowest-in-history/articleshow/3261721.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> This led to [[1999 Indian general election|fresh elections]] in 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thequint.com/news/india/no-confidence-motion-atal-bihari-vajpayee|title=The 1999 No-Trust Motion That Former PM Vajpayee Lost by One Vote|website=The Quint|access-date=22 March 2019|date=20 July 2018|archive-date=6 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306044456/https://www.thequint.com/news/india/no-confidence-motion-atal-bihari-vajpayee|url-status=live}}</ref>

The elections were the second consecutive general elections in which the party that received the most votes did not win the most seats.

In Orissa, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) was formed in 1998 after breaking away from the Janata Dal. In its debut in the 1998 general election, the BJD allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and won nine seats. Following this victory, Naveen Patnaik was appointed Union Minister for Mines. Together, the BJP–BJD alliance secured 16 out of the 21 Lok Sabha seats in the state, while the Janata Dal suffered a major defeat, with its vote share reduced to just 4 percent.
