A day after taking oath of office, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday won the trust vote in the state assembly. Addressing the Haryana Assembly after moving the confidence motion, new Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini today praised former CM Manohar Lal Khattar and said that he worked in a “mission mode to improve governance in Haryana.” “I would like to appeal to all the members of this house to support us. I would like to say that even the people of Haryana have confidence in us,” he said.

The BJP announced its candidates for six Lok Sabha seats out of the 10 in Haryana, fielding former chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar from Karnal and former MP Ashok Tanwar from Sirsa.

Khattar quit as the chief minister a day back as the party effected a major shake-up in the state leadership. Hours before the BJP announced his name in its second list for the Lok Sabha elections, Khattar quit as the MLA from Karnal as well.

Tanwar, who recently switched over from AAP, has been fielded by the BJP from Sirsa, which is now represented by Sunita Duggal.
