Khattar, 65, had first taken oath as the CM in October 2014, when the BJP had won the Haryana assembly polls with a clear cut mandate. His second term in power came only after hectic realpolitik, as the BJP had failed to cross the halfway mark. In the results declared on Thursday, the party could win only 40 out of the 90 constituencies, six short of the majority mark.
On Friday, negotiations were held in Delhi between JJP chief Dushyant Chautala and the BJP top brass including party president Amit Shah. Following the meeting, the two sides decided to form the government, with Chautala being announced as the Deputy CM.
Seven independent winners in the Haryana assembly polls have also extended support to the BJP-led regime. The Governor has provided a time-frame of two weeks to Khattar to prove his majority in the House.
