Haryana, 12 March 2024– In a sudden turn of events, Nayab Singh Saini of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took oath as the Chief Minister of Haryana today, succeeding Manohar Lal Khattar. This development comes in the wake of the resignation of the entire Haryana Cabinet, including the outgoing Chief Minister, due to internal rifts within the BJP-Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) alliance.
The political turmoil ensued from a seat-sharing dispute between the BJP and its alliance partner, the Dushyant Chautala-led JJP, ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024. The disagreement ultimately led to the resignation of Manohar Lal Khattar and his Cabinet ministers, who submitted their resignations to Governor Bandaru Dattatreya earlier today.
Nayab Singh Saini, a prominent figure within the BJP, officially assumed office after taking the oath of office in a ceremony held at Chandigarh in the presence of Governor Bandaru Dattatreya. The new Chief Minister is expected to form a new cabinet, and reports suggest that some Independent MLAs may be accommodated into the Haryana Cabinet.
As the political landscape in Haryana undergoes a significant transformation, stay tuned for further updates on the swearing-in ceremony and the formation of the new cabinet.
