BJP MLA Krishan Bedi took oath as a Cabinet minister on Thursday. After taking oath he said that the state government would complete the work that has been decided in the party's 'Sankalp Patra' (manifesto).
Bedi is among the 13 legislators inducted into the new cabinet under Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday. "Today I have got the opportunity to join Nayab Singh Saini's team. My top leadership has expressed faith in me. Our government has been formed for the third time in the state, which had never happened before. So the public has also trusted us. We will complete the work that we had decided in the Sankalp Patra," Bedi said after the oath ceremony. Another newly inducted Haryana minister Rajesh Nagar says, " I want to thank PM Modi...the responsibility that has been given to me, I thank the top leadership of my party and all the leaders, they gave a ministerial post to a common man like me..." Earlier, Nayab Singh Saini was administered the oath of office by Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, marking his second term as Chief Minister of Haryana. His council of ministers was also sworn in during the ceremony. The swearing-in ceremony, held at Dussehra Ground in Panchkula, also saw BJP leader OP Dhankar congratulating Nayab Singh Saini on being sworn in as Chief Minister of Haryana for the second time. Dhankar described the event as "grand," noting the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Chief Ministers, Deputy Chief Ministers of NDA ruled states and senior NDA leaders. This is the BJP's third consecutive government in Haryana after securing 48 out of 90 seats in the recent assembly elections, while the Congress won 37 seats. The ceremony was attended by several high-profile figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Rajiv Ranjan Singh. Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states, including Assam's Himanta Biswa Sarma, Gujarat's Bhupendra Patel, and Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath, were also present. In addition, prominent NDA leaders such as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde attended the event. (ANI)
