Haryana Floor Test: Haryana's Political Landscape Shifts as Saini Secures Position Amid Opposition's Critique
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, successfully secured a majority in the assembly
The BJP-led government in Haryana, under the new leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, successfully secured a majority in the assembly through a voice vote. This development followed intense discussions that spanned over two hours within the assembly chambers.
The session commenced amidst contentious debates, with the opposition, led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda, challenging the procedural aspects of the assembly's convening and calling for a postponement until full attendance was achieved. The Speaker, however, dismissed these appeals.
Chief Minister Saini, who had just been sworn in with his cabinet the previous day, initiated the confidence motion. In a surprising turn of events, members of the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), following a directive from Dushyant Chautala, exited the assembly, abstaining from the vote.
Saini, reflecting on his ascent, attributed his rise to the BJP's inclusive ethos, stating, "My journey from a grassroots worker to the Chief Minister's office is a testament to the opportunities provided by the BJP."
The opposition's response was sharp, with Hooda criticizing the BJP's decision to appoint Saini as a temporary measure, likening him to a 'nightwatchman' in cricket, and urging for a dissolution of the assembly to seek a fresh mandate from the electorate.
Hooda further accused the BJP and JJP of mutual collusion, asserting that the people would ultimately hold the power to effect change in the upcoming elections. "The changing of Chief Ministers will not deter us; we aim to transform the government itself," he declared.
Raghuvir Singh Kadian, another Congress leader, joined the critique, highlighting the struggles of farmers and the harsh treatment of community leaders and healthcare workers advocating for their rights.
In the 90-seat Haryana assembly, the BJP holds 41 seats and is supported by a majority of independent MLAs and the sole representative of the Haryana Lokhit Party, Gopal Kanda.
In a related announcement, former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar resigned from his legislative post in Karnal, potentially setting the stage for his candidacy in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. "I am stepping down from the Karnal assembly seat, passing the baton to Chief Minister Saini," Khattar stated, marking a significant shift in the state's political dynamics.
