BJP’s OBC leader Nayab Singh Saini took oath as the new chief minister of Haryana on Thursday. His swearing in ceremony in Panchkula was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and other BJP bigwigs and NDA partners.
According to media reports, BJP’s choice of day for the swearing-in ceremony is significant as it coincides with Valmiki Jayanti. Sage-poet Valmiki is the author of the Hindu epic Ramayana and a revered figure, especially among Dalits.
