Haryana: CM Manohar Lal Khattar Resigns

As per reports, Nayab Singh Saini, who represents the Kurukshetra constituency, is set to replace him as the new Chief Minister of Haryana. 

The resignation comes amid a fresh political crisis as the BJP and JJP may break their alliance. Furthermore, five JJP MLAs will likely split away from BJP.

However, BJP MLA Sudhir Singla assured that there's no rift between BJP and JJP alliance. He also notified that a meeting will be held today, Observers will come to the meeting and all the MLAs will express their views
