The BJP leader reached Raj Bhawan with former CM Manohar Lal Khattar to stake claim for forming the new government in the state. Saini was also accompanied by Union Minister Arjun Munda, BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh and Haryana BJP in-charge Biplab Deb.
Saini, 54, is considered a confidante of former chief minister Khattar. He hails from the OBC community and was also the state president of the Haryana BJP. He was appointed to the post in October last year.
The surprise move by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party came weeks before the Lok Sabha elections are to be held.
The Haryana assembly polls are due in October. BJP’s Thanesar MLA Subhash Sudha and J P Dalal, who held the agriculture portfolio, told media that Saini was unanimously elected as the leader of the state BJP’s legislature party.
