Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini Moves Confidence Motion In Assembly Day After Taking Office

Nayab Singh Saini, the chief minister of Haryana, presented a motion on Wednesday to request a vote of confidence in the assembly, one day after taking office.

The Speaker scheduled a two-hour meeting to debate the motion.

When the trust vote issue was brought up, MLAs for the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), Devender Singh Babli, Ram Kumar Gautam, Ishwar Singh, Ram Niwas, and Jogi Ram Sihag, left the House.

On Wednesday, the party issued a whip, requesting that its ten members abstain from the House’s vote on the motion of confidence. Anil Vij, a former state home minister, was in the House.

Congress MLAs asked Speaker Gian Chand Gupta about the importance of calling an Assembly session before the chief minister made the proposal.

“There was no emergency,” senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda said and claimed that proper time was not given to the MLAs. Party MLA B B Batra asked, “What was the urgency of convening the session?”

In order to give the legislators time to go to the assembly, Hooda requested that the Speaker adjourn the session for at least one hour. In response, the speaker stated that it was the members’ responsibility to arrive at the House promptly.

But Gupta remarked, “Let the discussion happen and the members can come to the House in the interim.”

With 41 members in the 90-member state house, the BJP also has the backing of six out of seven independents and Gopal Kanda, the lone MLA from the Haryana Lokhit Party. In the House, the JJP has ten MLAs. The Indian National Lok Dal has one MLA while the major opposition Congress has thirty.

A few hours after Manohar Lal Khattar unexpectedly resigned from his position along with his cabinet colleagues, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced Nayab Singh Saini as the new chief minister of Haryana on Tuesday.

Following their evening oath-taking, Saini stated that they had brought the governor a letter of support signed by forty-eight MLAs and requested that he call an assembly on Wednesday so that the BJP government could demonstrate its majority in the House.
