Nayab Singh Saini Sworn in as Haryana Chief Minister
Nayab Singh Saini took the oath of office as the Chief Minister of Haryana for the second time on October 17, 2024. The ceremony in Panchkula featured notable figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This event marks a significant moment for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as they celebrate their hat-trick victory in the state assembly elections.
A Grand Ceremony in Panchkula
The swearing-in ceremony included extensive security measures due to the expected turnout of over 50,000 attendees. Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya administered the oath of office and secrecy to Saini. Furthermore, major roads around the venue closed, and organizers issued a traffic advisory to ensure the event’s smooth conduct.
Unanimous Election as Leader
On October 16, Nayab Singh Saini secured unanimous election as the leader of the BJP legislative party. MLA Krishan Kumar Bedi proposed his nomination, while Anil Vij seconded it. Vij had also expressed his aspirations for the chief ministership. Amit Shah and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav acted as central observers during the meeting, confirming the party’s decision.
Remarkable Election Victory
The BJP achieved a surprising hat-trick victory in the Haryana assembly elections. Although early trends predicted a loss, the party rebounded and won 48 out of 90 seats. Saini, representing the Ladwa assembly constituency, won decisively by defeating Congress candidate Mewa Singh by over 16,000 votes. This victory defied expectations set by exit polls, which suggested a return of the opposition Congress to power.
Support from Independent MLAs
In addition to their electoral success, the BJP gained support from three Independent MLAs, including Savitri Jindal from Hisar. This support strengthens the party’s position in the assembly and further solidifies Saini’s leadership.
Conclusion
Nayab Singh Saini’s swearing-in as Haryana Chief Minister represents a pivotal moment for the BJP. With strong backing and a renewed mandate from the electorate, Saini’s administration aims to continue its governance and development agenda in Haryana.
