Nayab Singh Saini Sworn in as Chief Minister of Haryana for Second Term
Nayab Singh Saini has been sworn in as the Chief Minister of Haryana for a second time, solidifying the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) dominance in the state for a third consecutive term. The ceremony took place at Panchkula’s Parade Ground, attended by prominent political figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This event underscores the BJP's stronghold as it gears up for upcoming elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Background on Nayab Singh Saini
Born in 1970, Nayab Singh Saini has been active in politics for nearly thirty years. He was inspired to enter politics by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. In 2014, Saini was elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Naraingarh. His political journey continued when he became a member of the state Cabinet in 2016 and later secured the Lok Sabha seat from Kurukshetra in 2019.
Election Victory
The recent assembly elections, held on October 5, 2024, marked a significant victory for the BJP, which won 48 out of 90 seats. The Congress party secured the second position with 37 seats, while other regional parties struggled, resulting in a notable decline for the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD).
Swearing-In Ceremony
The oath of office was administered to Saini by Haryana’s Governor, Bandaru Dattatreya. Alongside Saini, several other BJP leaders also took their oaths, further strengthening the party’s position in the state.
Key Highlights of BJP’s Performance
The BJP demonstrated robust support in Scheduled Caste (SC) areas, winning eight out of the 17 SC seats. The party achieved remarkable victories against prominent Congress figures, including Udai Bhan in Hodal, showcasing its electoral strength.
With Nayab Singh Saini at the helm, the BJP is poised to continue its governance in Haryana, as the party looks forward to maintaining its influence in the region amid the evolving political landscape.
