New cabinet ministers appointed
The new cabinet includes Kanwar Pal Gurjar, Mool Chand Sharma, Ranjit Singh Chautala, Jai Prakash Dalal, and Dr. Banwari Lal, among others. Each minister brings a wealth of experience and expertise to their respective portfolios, ensuring a well-rounded leadership team.
Resignation of outgoing council of ministers
Manohar Lal Khattar and all 13 members of the BJP-led council of ministers tendered their resignations to the governor. This move occurred concurrently with the arrival of a team of central observers from the BJP in Chandigarh, signaling a smooth transition of power within the party.
The BJP, which won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana by large margins in 2019, appeared keen to fight the upcoming parliamentary polls on its own. It had forged the alliance with the JJP later after falling short of the majority mark in the assembly elections. At present, the BJP has 41 MLAs in the 90-member assembly while the JJP has 10. The ruling combine also enjoyed the support of six of the seven Independent candidates and is comfortably placed even without the JJP's support.
