Manohar Lal Khattar, a 60-year-old RSS man and a
first-time legislator, took oath as the 10th chief minister of Haryana
today Sunday Oct 26,2014 in the presence of PM Narendra Modi.
Along with Mr Khattar, six cabinet ministers and three ministers of state (independent charge) were also sworn in by Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki in Panchkula town, adjoining Chandigarh, the common capital of both Haryana and Punjab. The venue is a departure from the past, which earlier used to be Chandigarh.
Top leaders of the BJP, including Home Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and senior leader LK Advani, were present for the swearing-in ceremony. However, former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who was also invited, decided to skip the event.
