Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is set to be sworn in for another term on October 17, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in attendance. The oath-taking ceremony will be held at the Dusshera ground in Panchkula Sector 5 at 10 am, the party said in a statement on Saturday, October 12. According to the reports, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and chief ministers of some BJP-ruled states will attend the swearing in of Nayab Singh Saini.
BJP leader Sanjay Bhatia had earlier said that the swearing in ceremony will be a big event and smooth arrangements will be made for the people. “We have come to know that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the ceremony. Chief Ministers of nearby states and some Union ministers will also attend it,” he said.
Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said, “We have got the nod of the prime minister and on October 17, the oath-taking ceremony of the chief minister and his council of ministers will take place in Panchkula.”
The BJP had indicated during the Assembly election that Nayab Singh Saini, who replaced Manohar Lal Khattar as chief minister of Haryana in March, would be its choice for the top post if the party won the state.
The Haryana election results were announced on October 8 and the BJP ended up with its best-ever haul of 48 seats, 11 more than the Congress. The JJP and AAP were decimated and the INLD managed to win just two seats.
