Hours after outgoing Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and his cabinet ministers submitted their resignations, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced party leader Nayab Singh Saini as the new Chief Minister of Haryana.
The development came amid speculation of cracks emerging in the state’s ruling BJP and Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) coalition over seat-sharing arrangements ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
