Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar, his ministers resign

On Tuesday morning, Haryana’s Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, tendered his resignation to Governor Bandaru Dattareya, a move that was swiftly followed by the resignation of his entire cabinet. This series of resignations has fueled rumors of discord within the governing coalition, particularly regarding negotiations over seat distribution for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Unexpectedly, there are whispers that Khattar might seek election from the Karnal constituency. Despite the unfolding political drama, the BJP, which is the majority party in the 90-member Assembly with 40 seats, remains optimistic about its ability to form a new government with the support of independent legislators. This development comes after the BJP had previously established a government in coalition with Dushyant Chautala’s JJP following the last election.
