       BJP's Nayab Saini takes oath as Haryana’s New Chief

       Minister



       A few hours after Manohar Lal Khattar resigned
       from his post, MP Nayab Saini took the oath as
       the  chief  minister  of  the  state.  Earlier  today,

       community and last year he was made the state
       president of BJP Haryana.
       Khattar  on  Tuesday  resigned  hours  after
       Bharatiya  Janata  Party  (BJP)  alliance  with
       Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) broke.
       JJP led by deputy CM Dushyant Chautala had
       10  MLAs  in  the  Haryana  Assembly.  Khattar
       submitted his resignation letter to Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya.
       After leaving Raj Bhavan, senior BJP Leader Kanwar Pal Gujjar said, "CM and the cabinet ministers have
       resigned and the Governor has accepted the resignations." On being asked who will be the next CM, Gujjar
       said, " The CM will continues to be the CM."
