Chandigarh (Haryana) - On October 18, Nayab Singh Saini officially took office as the Chief Minister of Haryana at the Haryana Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh. After being sworn in, he expressed his commitment to serving the state's 2.80 crore residents.
Saini stated, "I am emotional and humbled to be in this position. The principles of Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, and Sabka Vishwas are crucial. We will do everything possible to transform Haryana into a prosperous and self-reliant state. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, our government is dedicated to service, good governance, and the welfare of the underprivileged."
During the ceremony, Saini received a guard of honour and addressed key initiatives. He highlighted a promise from the party manifesto to provide free treatment for kidney patients, stating, "We have signed the necessary documents for the Haryana government to cover the expenses of kidney dialysis."
Expressing gratitude for the public's support, Saini said, "I thank the people of Haryana for their trust and for giving us a strong mandate for the third time. They have rejected the Opposition's narrative. Congress attempted to instigate farmers and sow doubts among the youth, but the people of Haryana have supported PM Modi's historic measures for farmers over the past decade."
Following his inauguration, Saini and his newly appointed ministers convened for their first cabinet meeting.
The oath-taking ceremony took place at Dussehra Ground in Panchkula, where Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya officiated. The event was attended by several notable leaders, including Prime Minister Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Chief Ministers from other BJP-ruled states, including Himanta Biswa Sarma from Assam and Yogi Adityanath from Uttar Pradesh, were also present.
Anil Vij, the former Deputy Chief Minister, and several other MLAs were inducted into Saini's Cabinet. The BJP is forming its third consecutive government in Haryana after winning 48 out of 90 assembly seats, while the Congress secured 37 seats.
