In the recently concluded Haryana assembly elections, the BJP registered a historic victory for the third consecutive term. The saffron party won 48 seats, while the main Opposition Congress, which was tipped by pollsters to be the favourite, could managed just 37 seats.

However, the BJP is yet to announce its chief minister’s pick as senior leader Anil Vij has also made his claim for the top post.

Even before elections, Vij has openly expressed his desire to become the Chief Minister.

According to sources, the BJP may again go with sitting CM Nayab Singh Saini, who replaced Manohar Lal Khattar in March early this year.
