OBC leader Nayab Singh Saini is on Thursday set to take over as Chief Minister of Haryana for the second time as the BJP swept to power in the state for the third consecutive time.
Mr Saini was elected the BJP's Legislature Party leader in a meeting on Wednesday, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav present as Central observers. Subsequently, he called on Governor Bandaru Dattatreya and staked his claim to form the government.
The swearing-in ceremony, in Panchkula, was specially scheduled to be held on Valmiki Jayanti on Thursday and will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states.
