Khattar and Saini Meet in Chandigarh; Reshuffle Rumors Fly

Sep 3, 2025 | Haryana

Political activity intensified in the state capital today as Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar met with CM Nayab Singh Saini for a long discussion. The meeting, which lasted over an hour, is being seen as a crucial strategy session before the state enters full election mode.

  • Closed-Door Discussion: The two leaders met without any aides or staff present. Sources suggest they discussed the feedback received from recent district-level rallies and the “Jan Ashirwad” programs.

  • Rumors of Changes: The meeting has led to heavy speculation that the state government might soon appoint new chairmen to various government boards and corporations. There are also rumors that a few ministers might see their portfolios changed to improve the government’s image before the polls.

  • Coordination for Elections: Since the election dates were recently shifted to October 5, the leaders are believed to have discussed the updated campaign plan. As a mentor to CM Saini, Khattar’s input is considered vital for ticket distribution and handling internal party matters.

  • Official Version: Publicly, the CM’s office described the meeting as a “courtesy call” to discuss ongoing developmental projects and central government schemes being implemented in Haryana.

Why It Matters: This meeting is important because it shows that Manohar Lal Khattar still plays a major role in Haryana’s governance and political strategy, even after moving to a central role in Delhi. Any announcement regarding board appointments in the coming days will likely be a result of today’s talk.
