He is the member of the 16th Lok Sabha and represents the Dhenkanal constituency of Odisha. He was Re-elected for the fourth time in 2014 and is the member of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) party, and the party's chief whip in the Lok Sabha.
In 2000, Satpathy joined the Orissa Gana Parishad (a non political outfit), and served as its secretary general. After Naveen Patnaik got elected in 2000, Satpathy had used his newspaper Dharitri to criticise his policies which he does even now. In March 2004, just before the Indian general election, 2004, Satpathy reconciled with BJD. He said that he was forced to quit OGP due its changing into a political party as also forming an alliance with Janaki Ballabh Patnaik-led Indian National Congress
