CHANDIGARH: The oath-taking ceremony for the new cabinet of the Nayab Singh Saini-led BJP government in Haryana will take place at the Haryana Raj Bhavan here on Tuesday.
According to an invite from the Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatraya, the oath-taking ceremony of the ministers will take place at 4.30 pm.
At present, the Haryana Cabinet has five ministers — four from the BJP and one Independent — apart from the chief minister. Saini and five ministers were inducted into the cabinet on March 12.
In a surprise move, the BJP replaced Manohar Lal Khattar with OBC leader Saini as Haryana’s chief minister in a swift switch in the state, just weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
Saini, who is the party’s state unit president, was sworn in as chief minister on March 12 along with five ministers hours after the resignation of Khattar.
Saini (54) represents Kurukshetra in the Lok Sabha. The Saini government in Haryana on March 13 won the trust vote in the special session of the state assembly.
