Emerging as the star of BJP's Haryana 2024 assembly election campaign, Saini was sworn in as chief minister on October 17. Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya administered the oath of office to Saini and 13 others in a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other prominent alliance leaders.

"...my heartfelt gratitude to 2.80 crore people for the mandate that kept the development and reconstruction of Haryana moving. I am thankful to PM Modiji for giving me the opportunity to become the Haryana CM ... your (PM's) special affection towards Haryana gives us unlimited energy to work hard continuously. Under your inspirational leadership, Haryana is touching new heights of development every day. This nonstop journey of development will continue in the state. For the third time with a full majority, the BJP government will work with full energy and enthusiasm for good governance, equality and the welfare of the poor," he wrote on X.

Saini was the "surprise pick" to replace BJP's Haryana strongman ML Khattar but proved naysayers wrong by nabbing the win over a resurgent Congress and anti-incumbency rhetoric in the state, as per a PTI report.

The OBC leader is now heading the party's third consecutive government in the state, having won 48 of the 90 assembly seats. Three independents, including India's richest woman, billionaire Savitri Jindal , also extended their support to the BJP administration.
