Haryana CM Nayab Saini wins floor test by voice vote
Hindustan TimesA day after taking oath, Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini won the confidence motion by voice vote in the assembly on Wednesday. Rao Dan Singh said: “Just two days ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi heaped praise on former chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar and overnight a change of leadership happens. The BJP knows that to beat anti-incumbency and failures on various fronts, it can experiment with leadership change as they have done this in some other states as well.” Congress leader and former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda speaking in the Haryana assembly during the voting on the confidence motion moved by chief minister Nayab Singh Saini in Chandigarh on Wednesday. “Whether you change the chief minister or break the alliance, the truth is that you have lost people’s trust,” Rao Dan Singh said, adding that “the government will come to know the reality if secret ballot voting is held.” Hooda said the BJP has replaced Khattar with Saini as CM as a stop-gap arrangement.
