Dushyant Chautala became his deputy in the alliance.

A Legacy Of Governance

During his tenure as Chief Minister, Khattar focused on governance reforms, digital initiatives, and citizen welfare schemes.

His transition to the Union Cabinet in 2024 marked a new chapter in his public service.

He took charge of vital ministries, steering urban transformation and power reforms.

Khattar’s continued involvement in shaping India’s urban and energy future has won praise from across the political spectrum.

As he celebrates another milestone, national leaders and citizens alike recognise his enduring contributions to the country’s development trajectory.
