Nayab Singh Saini took oath as the Chief Minister of Haryana for his second term on 17 October 2024.
Following the 2024 Haryana Legislative Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party secured a third consecutive victory in the state. Nayab Singh Saini, who first assumed the office in March 2024, was unanimously elected leader of the BJP legislature party. His elevation and subsequent electoral success are attributed to the consolidation of OBC and SC voter bases through various state development schemes. The oath-taking ceremony was held in Panchkula in the presence of senior national party leadership.
The appointment of the Chief Minister is governed by Article 164 of the Indian Constitution, which mandates that the Chief Minister shall be appointed by the Governor. Haryana is a unicameral legislature state and is part of the Hindi-speaking belt where political dynamics are significantly influenced by caste arithmetic and agricultural policies.
Date of oath: 17 October 2024
Venue: Dusshera Ground, Panchkula, Haryana
Administering Authority: Governor Bandaru Dattatraya
Constituency: Ladwa (Kurukshetra district)
B is correct тАФ Nayab Singh Saini was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Haryana for the second time in October 2024.
Remember that Nayab Singh Saini replaced Manohar Lal Khattar in early 2024; remembering the Ladwa constituency helps distinguish his specific electoral victory from his initial appointment.
