Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was sworn in as a legislator by the Assembly Speaker on Thursday. Speaker Gian Chand Gupta administered the oath to the BJP leader in his chamber.
Saini recently won the bypoll for the Karnal Assembly seat, previously held by his party colleague Manohar Lal Khattar, by defeating his main rival Congress leader Tarlochan Singh.
In the 2019 Assembly elections, Khattar successfully retained the Karnal seat by defeating Tarlochan Singh. Saini, the outgoing MP from Kurukshetra, contested the by-election for the Karnal assembly seat after succeeding Khattar as chief minister.
The by-election was required after Khattar resigned as MLA from Karnal following his removal from the position of chief minister. Saini was sworn in as the chief minister on March 12.
Voting for the state’s 10 Lok Sabha seats and the Karnal assembly constituency took place during the sixth phase of the general election on May 25, with the results announced on June 4.
Khattar, who was fielded by the BJP from the Karnal parliamentary segment, won the seat.
