During the elections, the BJP had hinted that Nayab Singh Saini, who replaced Manohar Lal Khattar as chief minister in March and belongs to the Other Backward Classes, would be its choice for the top position if the party secured victory. Sources have indicated that the swearing-in event is likely to be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior BJP leaders, including several chief ministers from BJP-ruled states. The BJP secured its best-ever result with 48 seats, 11 more than the Congress. Meanwhile, the JJP and AAP were decimated, and the INLD won only two seats.
