In a surprising turn of events, sources have indicated that Manohar Lal Khattar, the Chief Minister of Haryana, is likely to tender his resignation today. Reports suggest that Nayab Saini or Sanjay Bhatia may step in as his replacement, and the entire Khattar-Cabinet is anticipated to collectively resign. Additionally, there are speculations that Khattar might enter the electoral arena from Karna in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
CM Khattar Calls Urgent Meeting with MLAs
Amidst escalating tensions between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) in the Haryana government, CM Manohar Lal Khattar has summoned a meeting with BJP and government-backed independent MLAs. The meeting, scheduled for 11:30 am today at the CM’s residence in Haryana, aims to strategize on forming a government with the support of independent MLAs.

Dushyant Chautala Takes Action
In a parallel move, Dushyant Chautala, the deputy CM in Haryana and founder of the JJP, has called for a meeting of party MLAs in Delhi around 11 am. Speculations suggest that crucial decisions might be made during this meeting. Sources indicate that the JJP is eyeing the Hisar and Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha seats. Notably, the recent departure of BJP’s Hisar MP Brijendra Singh, who joined Congress on Sunday, has further complicated the political scenario.
Potential Successors for CM Khattar
As the situation unfolds, Nayab Saini or Sanjay Bhatia are being considered as potential successors to Chief Minister Khattar. Moreover, there are reports suggesting that Khattar is contemplating a Lok Sabha election bid from Karna.
Union Ministers En Route to Resolve Alliance Crisis
Amidst the political upheaval, Union Agriculture Minister Arjun Munda and BJP General Secretary Tarun Chugh are en route to Chandigarh with the aim of resolving the crisis between the BJP and JJP alliance in Haryana. The disagreement between the two parties stems from issues related to seat-sharing for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
The crisis worsened following the departure of BJP’s Hisar MP Brijendra Singh, prompting the JJP to assert its claim on the Hisar and Bhiwani–Mahendragarh Lok Sabha seats. Dushyant Chautala, a key player in Haryana politics, had represented Hisar until 2019.
