New Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini cleared a floor test aimed at proving that BJP had majority status in the assembly even after breaking ties with Dushyant Chautala’s JJP.
Mr Saini was chosen as the new chief minister after the surprise resignation.
Haryana witnessed a swift change of government over the past 48 hours, with senior BJP leader Manohar Lal Khattar and the entire cabinet, which included three from the JJP, quitting Tuesday.
New CM Saini said “ “I come from a humble family background, no one is in politics in my family. I am just a party worker of the BJP and today I have been given such a big opportunity. I must say that this can be possible only in a party like the BJP,”
“I have learnt everything from scratch from former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. I have learnt even the minutest things from him and how to maintain them,” he added.
JJP MLAs Walkout From The Assembly
Five MLAs of the Jannayak Janata Party walked out of the Haryana Assembly during the floor test. The party had issued a three-line whip to its MLAs to remain absent today but some legislators defied the whip and reached the House.
Speaking on the floor of the House after moving a confidence motion, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that he is fulfiling the repsonsibility given to him by the party.
“Seeing the work of BJP, people are saying once again Modi government,” he remarked, adding that the Khattar government has done very good work in Haryana in the last nine and a half years.
