The political landscape of Haryana took shape on Thursday, October 17, 2024, as Nayab Singh Saini of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was sworn in for a second term as Chief Minister. The ceremony, held in Panchkula, witnessed the administration of the oath of office and secrecy to Saini and 13 other legislators, including two women, by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the state under the leadership of the BJP, which secured an unprecedented third consecutive term in the recent Assembly polls.
The newly constituted Cabinet reflects the BJP's dominance in the state, with a total of 14 Ministers, including the Chief Minister, taking their positions. While most Ministers opted to take their oaths in Hindi, Shruti Choudhary chose to do so in English. The composition of the Cabinet, with the inclusion of two women, signifies a move towards greater inclusivity and representation within the state government.
The BJP's resounding victory in the Assembly elections, securing 48 seats in the 90-member Assembly, underscores the party's strong hold on the state's political landscape. This victory reflects the BJP's successful campaigning and its appeal to the electorate. The new Cabinet will now be tasked with fulfilling the BJP's promises to the people of Haryana, addressing key issues such as development, infrastructure, and economic growth.
This swearing-in ceremony marks a pivotal moment in Haryana's political journey. The BJP's return to power with an expanded majority sets the stage for new initiatives and policies aimed at improving the lives of the state's citizens. The coming years will be crucial in observing how the new Cabinet navigates the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, shaping the future of Haryana under the leadership of Nayab Singh Saini.
