Manohar Lal Khattar took oath as the Haryana chief minister for a second term on Sunday. He will lead the BJP-JJP (Jannayak Janata Party) coalition government in the state.

JJP leader Dushyant Chautala took oath as his deputy, a day after the governor invited him to lead the alliance that also has the support of seven Independents.

The swearing-in ceremony was held at Raj Bhavan in Chandigarh. Governor Satyadeo Narain Arya administered the oath of office and secrecy to Khattar and Chautala in the presence of other leaders including former Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal and BJP working president JP Nadda. Former CM and senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda was also present on the occasion.

In the just-concluded Assembly elections, the BJP won 40 seats and was six short of a majority in the 90-member Legislative Assembly. The Congress won 31 seats, 16 more than its 2014 tally. The JJP of Dushyant Chautala the grandson of Om Prakash Chautala, which won 10 seats, announced support to the BJP.

Extending his wishes to the newly appointed ministers, PM Naremdra Modi tweeted, “Congratulations to @mlkhattar Ji and @Dchautala on taking oath as CM and Deputy CM of Haryana. Best wishes to them as they work to fulfil the aspirations of the people of Haryana.”

Congress leader and two-time Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda, who attended the ceremony, described the BJP-JJP alliance opportunist, unholy and against the mandate.

Dushyant Chautala’s father Ajay Chautala, who stepped out of the Tihar jail on Saturday on a furlough, also attended the event. Dushyant Chautala’s mother Naina Chautala, who has been re-elected MLA for the second time, was also present. Ajay Chautala is lodged in the Tihar jail in Delhi after his conviction in a teachers’ recruitment scam.
