Haryana CM Nayan Singh Saini will take oath on October 17, along with the council of ministers of his cabinet, said Union Minister and former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday.

Union Minister former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar says, "We have received the nod of the PM that on October 17, in Panchkula, the CM and council of ministers will take oath."

Haryana Assembly Election 2024 was held in one phase on October 5 and the results were announced on October 8. While the exit polls predicted a win for Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a victory by winning 48 seats. The grand old party could only secure 37 seats.

Notably, this is the third consecutive win of the BJP in Haryana, marking history victory.

BJP leader Sanjay Bhatia on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Ministers of nearby states will also attend the swearing-in ceremony.

CM Saini on Friday, addressed the farmers' concern over the MSP in the state and assured the farmers in the state saying that it is his government's commitment to buy crops at MSP and deposit the money directly in the accounts. He also said that the Haryana government is youth welfare-oriented.

"...So far we have bought 5.73 lakh metric tonnes of paddy in the state of Haryana at MSP...and also lifted it and along with this we have also bought about 1.30 lakh metric tonnes of millet and it is our commitment that we will buy the farmer's crop at MSP and deposit the money directly in the accounts. Today I and all our MLAs were on inspection in the mandis, we will not let any farmer face any problem..." said the Haryana Chief Minister.

There is no doubt within the party regarding Saini's leadership. Both PM Modi and Amit Shah have publicly endorsed him as the Chief Ministerial candidate during their rallies, leaving no room for speculation.

Discussions are underway about the Deputy Chief Minister position, as the party contemplates bringing in new faces. This consideration comes after eight out of ten ministers from the previous Saini government lost their elections. Notably, Shruti Chaudhary, the granddaughter of the late Bansi Lal, is expected to join the cabinet.
