Nayab Singh Saini has been chosen as the new Chief Minister of Haryana after being elected as the legislative party leader in a meeting on Wednesday. The meeting, held in Panchkula, was convened by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who met with the state’s 48 newly elected MLAs.
The decision comes ahead of Thursday’s swearing-in ceremony, where Saini will assume his new role. The meeting also focused on finalizing the composition of the Cabinet, with an emphasis on ensuring representation from various community groups to reflect Haryana’s diversity.
