Nayab Singh Saini will take oath as the chief minister of Haryana at a ceremony in Panchkula where Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP bigwigs and NDA partners will be in attendance on Thursday (October 17, 2024).
Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Mr. Saini, who will become the Chief Minister for the second time.
Ministers of Mr. Saini's cabinet are also likely to be sworn in at the ceremony. Haryana can have a maximum of 14 ministers, including the chief minister.
Massive security arrangements have been made for the ceremony.
In the October 5 Haryana polls, the BJP secured an unprecedented third term in the state, winning 48 seats in the 90-member assembly. The Congress won 37 seats.
Mr. Saini, 54, was unanimously elected as the leader of the BJP legislature party in a meeting held at the party office in Panchkula on Wednesday (October 16, 2024).
In a departure from tradition, the BJP had declared that Mr. Saini would remain Chief Minister if the party returned to power in Haryana after the assembly polls.
