Guwahati (Assam) [India], October 14 (ANI): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini paid obeisance and offered prayers at the revered Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati on Monday, marking his first visit since taking office as chief minister for the third time.
Haryana Chief Minister Singh Saini was accompanied by his wife Suman Saini at the Kamakhya Temple where he prayed for a prosperous future for Haryana and for the state to achieve new levels of development.
After paying his respects to the goddess, Nayab Saini said, "I am very fortunate that I received the opportunity to worship at the Maa Kamakhya temple today. I have prayed for the bright future of Haryana and that the state touches new heights of development."
The Haryana Chief Minister further said that the government elected in Haryana represents the interests of the poor, farmers, women, and youth, and will work to improve their lives.
"Under the leadership of PM Modi, we have developed Haryana equally without any discrimination in the last 10 years. We will take this development forward at a faster pace. We have also taken some resolutions in this election and will also fulfil those resolutions so that the government lives up to the expectations of every person. The government that has been elected in Haryana is the government of the poor, farmers, women, and youth. Our government will work to make their lives easier, said Saini.
Nayab Singh Saini is set to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Haryana on October 17. The ceremony is slated to be held at Panchkula at 10 am at Dussehra Ground in Sector 5.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present, along with senior leaders from the BJP and Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers from NDA-ruled states.
"We have received the nod of the Prime Minister that on October 17, in Panchkula, the Chief Minister and council of ministers will take oath," Union Minister Chief Minister Manohar Lal told reporters here on Saturday.
There is no doubt within the party regarding Saini's leadership. Both PM Modi and Amit Shah have publicly endorsed him as the Chief Ministerial candidate during their rallies, leaving no room for speculation.
Discussions are underway about the Deputy Chief Minister position, as the party contemplates bringing in new faces. This consideration comes after eight out of ten ministers from the previous Saini government lost their elections. Notably, Shruti Chaudhary, the granddaughter of the late Bansi Lal, is expected to join the cabinet.
The oath-taking ceremony is anticipated to attract around 100,000 attendees, including several Chief Ministers from BJP-ruled states, Union ministers, and senior party leaders.
Speculation suggests that the new Haryana cabinet may include Anil Vij, Krishan Lal Midha, Shruti Chaudhary, Arvind Kumar Sharma, Vipul Goel, and Nikhil Madan.
The BJP is going to form its third successive government in Haryana with its 48 legislators in the 90-member Assembly.
Three independent MLAs from Haryana, Devender Kadyan, Rajesh Joon and Savitri Jindal have also extended their support to the BJP. The Congress won 37 seats. (ANI)
