Nayab Singh Saini Takes Oath as Haryana Legislator

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was sworn in as a legislator by Speaker Gian Chand Gupta. Saini, who previously served as an MP, won the Karnal Assembly bypoll against Congress's Tarlochan Singh. The by-election was prompted by Manohar Lal Khattar’s resignation from the seat.

In a significant political development, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was sworn in as a legislator on Thursday by Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta.

The solemn ceremony took place in the Speaker's chamber where Saini, a seasoned BJP leader, took the oath of office.

Saini recently emerged victorious in a fiercely contested bypoll for the Karnal Assembly seat, defeating his main rival, Congress candidate Tarlochan Singh. The seat had previously been held by fellow BJP member and former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

Khattar had won the Karnal seat in the 2019 Assembly polls, but his resignation necessitated the by-election.

Following his oath-taking, Saini, the outgoing MP from Kurukshetra, embarks on his new legislative journey, underlining the political shifts and strategies within the BJP.
