Nayab Singh Saini: From BJP State President to Haryana’s Next CM Post Manohar Lal Khattar’s Exit

Nayab Singh Saini

After Nayab Singh Saini was elected as the leader of the BJP legislature party, Manohar Lal Khattar’s resignation allowed the head of the state unit to become the next chief minister. BJP Haryana-in-charge Biplab Deb wrote on X, “Hearty congratulations and best wishes to State BJP President Shri @NayabSainiBJP ji on being elected as the leader of the legislative party.” He declared, “I am confident that he will carry out the development work of Haryana that was initiated under the direction of Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Manohar Lal Khattar ji, and he will advance the state’s development.” On Tuesday, Manohar Lal Khattar tendered his resignation amid apparent differences within the ruling coalition of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP). At Raj Bhawan, Khattar tendered his resignation to Bandaru Dattatreya ahead of the BJP’s legislative party conference.

A BJP central delegation led by former Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb and Union minister Arjun Munda visited the state to supervise the reforms. The JJP, led by Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, and the BJP’s relationship worsened after they couldn’t agree on how to divide seats in the state for the Lok Sabha elections. The BJP insists it has sufficient members to cross the halfway mark, even in light of the split with the JJP. Currently, the JJP has 10 MLAs in the 90-member House, compared to 41 for the BJP. Six out of the seven independents also back the ruling coalition. The Indian National Lok Dal and the Haryana Lokhit Party both hold one seat, while the main opposition Congress party has thirty MLAs. There are rumors that this evening could see the inauguration of a new cabinet.

Who is Nayab Singh Saini?

Nayab Singh Saini, the OBC MP from Kurukshetra, was named the state president of the Haryana BJP in October of last year. Saini joined the BJP in 1996 and worked alongside the state general secretary of Haryana until 2000. He then joined the Uttar Pradesh BJP. Having risen through the ranks, he was appointed district general secretary of the BJP Youth Wing in Ambala in 2002 and district president of Ambala in 2005. He held several important positions in the party as a result of his devotion, including district president of the Ambala BJP in 2012 and state general secretary of the BJP, Kisan Morcha, in Haryana in 2009.

After winning the 2014 election to represent the Narayangarh constituency in the Legislative Assembly and being named a minister in the Haryana cabinet in 2016, his political career took off. Nayab Singh Saini won by a margin of more than 3.83 lakh votes over Indian National Congress (INC) candidate Nirmal Singh from the Kurukshetra constituency in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Saini, a minister who first stood for election as an MLA in 2014, is regarded as one of Manohar Lal Khattar’s closest allies. Political observers claim that caste and election dynamics seem to have propelled the Lok Sabha MP to the position of Haryana BJP chief, as Khattar reportedly desired a member of his party to manage the state organization. The Saini caste is thought to make up about 8% of the population in Haryana, and it is particularly prevalent in some areas of the districts of Kurukshetra, Yamunanagar, Ambala, Hisar, and Rewari.

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav addressed the media together. When Kejriwal brought up the topic of the assault on Swati Maliwal, he handed the microphone to Akhilesh. He stated, “There are more important things than this.” As for the alleged attack on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at Kejriwal’s residence by CM’s PA Bibhav Kumar, AAP MP Sanjay Singh has made statements about it thus far. He said he would speak on the matter and then cited Manipur, Prajwal Revanna, and the wrestlers’ protest against former chief wrestler of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“The prime minister said nothing while the wife of a Kargil hero was paraded in Manipur in her undies. PM Modi requested support for Prajwal Revanna, who had raped and molested many women. And the authorities assisted him in his escape. Swati Maliwal went to visit the women wrestlers during their protests at night, and the cops beat her up. Sanjay Singh remarked, “We have seen PM Modi’s silence on Hathras, Kuldeep Sengar. “The Party of Aam Aadmi is a family. The party has already made it clear where it stands on this matter. I want the BJP to respond to all of these questions, especially the incident in which the cops beat up Swati Maliwal. Politics shouldn’t be played over this, according to Sanjay Singh.

On Wednesday, Sanjay Singh visited Swati Maliwal at her home, but the BJP is pressing for action against Vibhav Kumar in this regard. Leaders of the BJP also questioned if Swati Maliwal was under pressure from the AAP, given that no formal complaint has been filed on the assault event. The picture of Bibhav Kumar seen at the Lucknow airport with Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh was released by the BJP on Thursday. “This is the image from last night of the Lucknow airport.” Vibhav, the one wearing the black shirt, struck Swati Maliwal. Kejriwal is upset, as is Sanjay Singh, who said that Bibhav has done something really wrong. BJP’s Kapil Mishra commented on X, saying, “The third one is Kejriwal himself, who is accused of getting Swati beaten up.”

Kejriwal Sparks Controversy: ‘Modi Never Ruled Out Retirement at 75,’ Amid ‘Amit Shah for PM’ Claim

Amit Shah will succeed Narendra Modi as prime minister in 2025, when the latter turns 75, according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who announced this Thursday. The prime minister has never said he will not step down at that age. Despite the disagreements between Amit Shah and some other politicians on Kejriwal’s age and retirement, PM Modi never said he wouldn’t retire at 75, Kejriwal said at a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chairman Akhilesh Yadav (Lucknow). “Everyone in the nation is confident that Modi won’t deviate from his 75-year retirement age,” Kejriwal stated.

“Amit Shah’s appointment as prime minister is now confirmed. According to him, the BJP has ignored every opponent, including Devendra Fadnavis, Manohar Lal Khattar, Vasundhara Raje, Dr. Raman Singh, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The only issue at hand is Yogi Adityanath, who would be ousted in two to three months, according to Kejriwal, who also mentioned that no BJP leader had disputed his remarks against Adityanath, suggesting that Adityanath’s departure was all but certain.

According to Kejriwal, eliminating reservations is the BJP’s “big plan” if they win the election.

During his first rally after leaving Tihar, Kejriwal stated that if he supported the BJP, Amit Shah would become prime minister since, according to party policy, no one over 75 may hold any job. Narendra Modi will turn 75 in 2025. In response to Kejriwal’s assertion, Amit Shah stated that Narendra Modi will serve out his term and continue to head the party well beyond 2029. Amit Shah charged that Kejriwal was fomenting disarray within the party about the leadership, whereas there is none.

“I would want to inform Arvind Kejriwal and associates that there is no need to celebrate Modiji’s 75th birthday. The BJP constitution does not mention his ineligibility to serve as prime minister. He will serve out the remainder of his time as prime minister. The party is not confused,” Amit Shah declared.
