Haryana Politics

Haryana’s political crisis escalates as CM Manohar Lal Khattar along with his cabinet resigned on 12th March. Who will be the next CM? Watch the video to know the details.

Khattar (65), who took oath as the chief minister for the second time on October 27, and Dushyant Chautala (31), who was sworn-in as his deputy, are the only two members of the present cabinet

The BJP has also been criticised for the mismatch between seeking support from a rape accused and its much-publicised Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign

While the chief minister's post will remain with the BJP, the JJP will get the deputy chief minister's post

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar will be elected the BJP legislative party leader at a meeting in Chandigarh on Saturday and will then stake claim before the governor to form the government

The BJP was set to form the government with some of the independents and small parties

The Congress leader said that people's mandate is against Manohar Lal Khattar's government in the state

The 10-month-old JJP was ahead in at least 10 seats, according to the trends, placing the party leader Dushyant Chautala in the kingmaker's role

As per the latest trends, Barala is trailing by 25,090 votes over Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) candidate Devinder Singh Babli from the Tohana seat.

Low to average voter turnout is being reported in assembly elections in Maharashtra and Haryana, where the BJP is seeking a second term in power and hopes for an easy victory.

Bypolls are also being held to 51 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha constituencies spread across 18 states

The elections will be held on October 21, results of which will be declared on October 24

BJP also pledged to give interest free crop loan of up to Rs 300,000 to farmers

There are at least five factions in the Congress' Haryana unit, which are led by Hooda, Tanwar, Randeep Surjewala, Kiran Choudhry, and Kuldeep Bishnoi

The Khattar government has been plagued with incompetence, but the man himself has the full backing of the party. That might not be enough to win elections
