Nayab Singh Saini has taken oath as the new Haryana Chief Minister hours after Manohar Lal Khattar resigned from his post along with his entire Cabinet. Saini was appointed as Haryana BJP chief in October last year. Saini was administered the oath by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya during a ceremony held at the Raj Bhavan in Chandigarh.
Five others took the oath as members of the new council of ministers along with Saini. They are BJP leaders Kanwar Pal, Mool Chand Sharma, Jai Parkash Dalal and Banwari Lal and Independent MLA Ranjit Singh Chautala. Saini is known to be close to Khattar. Saini is a Lok Sabha MP from Kurukshetra. He is from the OBC community. BJP leader Kanwar Pal Gujjar took oath as minister in the Haryana cabinet.
The development comes just weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Khattar’s second term as chief minister was also to end in October when the assembly polls are due. Khattar and all 13 other members of the BJP-led council of ministers submitted their resignations to the governor as a team of the party’s central observers arrived in Chandigarh.
