Chandigarh/IBNS: Starting another innings as the Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar will take oath on Sunday.

Dushyant Chautala, whose Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) will be the Deputy CM of the state.

Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday met Haryana Satyadeo Narain Arya and stake claim to form the next government in the state.

Khattar was accompanied by Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Singh Chautala, Haryana BJP in-charge Anil Jain and most of the party MLAs.

Earlier in the morning, Khattar was elected as the leader of the BJP legislature party in the state. His name was proposed by party leaders, including MLAs Anil Vij and Kanwar Pal Gujjar, and seconded by the other BJP legislators.

Khattar is all set to become the Haryana Chief Minister for the second term though this time he will have Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) as an ally in the government.

Union Minister and senior BJP leader, Ravishankar Prasad, here formally announced, "ML Khattar has been elected as the BJP legislative party leader."

After the BJP, which won 40 seats, failed to get the majority in the Haryana assembly polls, it has stitched a deal with the JJP which has 10 seats under its belt.

Khattar, who will have JJP chief Dushyant Chautala as his deputy in the government, will next meet Governor Satyadev Narayan Arya and stake claim to form the government. As per media reports, the swearing-in ceremony might take place on Sunday.

"We are aimed at developing Haryana," Prasad said standing beside Khattar who is an elected MLA from Karnal.
