Saini was appointed CM in March 2024 replacing Manohar Lal Khattar. Despite being given little chance by most polls, BJP retained Haryana in October 2024 with 48 of 90 seats, surprising the INDIA bloc. Saini is an OBC leader (Backward Classes) and his elevation signals BJP's strategy to consolidate OBC support in north India. Haryana faces significant challenges around water scarcity, farmer protests, and job creation.
