Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday took oath as the chief minister of Haryana for the second time at a ceremony in Panchkula attended by a galaxy of NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and thousands of people from across the state. Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya administered the oath of office and secrecy to Saini, who became the chief minister for the second time, at Dussehra ground here. Saini took oath in Hindi.
Significantly, the BJP chose the Valmiki Jayanti as the day for the swearing-in ceremony. Sage-poet Valmiki is the author of the Hindu epic Ramayana and a revered figure, especially among Dalits. Saini has emerged as an OBC leader of the BJP from Haryana.
