New Delhi,9/3: The BJP on Tuesday named OBC leader Nayab Singh Saini as Haryana’s new chief minister, hours after the resignation of Manohar Lal Khattar from the post along with his cabinet ministers.
Saini, 54, who is seen to be close to Khattar, will be sworn in as CM later in the day. The surprise development in Chandigarh comes just weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Khattar’s second term as chief minister was also to end in October.
