From Typist to Chief Minister: Nayab Singh Saini's Journey to the Top

The Haryana Story brings you the inspiring tale of Nayab Singh Saini, a man who went from political nobody to the top job in Haryana in just 15 years. Born in a small village near Ambala, Saini's journey is a testament to perseverance and smart political moves.

From Humble Beginnings to Political Stardom 

Nayab Singh Saini was born on January 25, 1970, in Mizapur Majra village. He started his political career in 1996, learning from Manohar Lal Khattar, who would later become a key figure in Haryana politics. Saini started as a typist in the BJP office in Haryana, Saini worked hard slowly climbing the ranks. 

In 2009, Saini faced a big setback. He ran for the Naraingarh Assembly seat but lost badly, even losing his security deposit. But Saini didn't give up. He kept working for the party, and his efforts paid off in the 2014 elections when he won the same seat by a huge margin of 24,361 votes.

The Rise to Chief Minister

Saini's closeness to Khattar helped him a lot. When Khattar became Chief Minister in 2014, he made Saini a Minister of State. This was a big step up for Saini. In 2019, he moved to national politics, winning the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha seat by a large margin. 

The BJP saw Saini as a valuable leader. He comes from the OBC (Other Backward Classes) community, which is important for the party's strategy in Haryana. In October 2023, Saini became the state BJP chief, replacing a Jat leader. This move showed the BJP's plan to balance different community interests.

Saini's Leadership and Future Prospects

As Chief Minister, Saini has shown he can lead effectively. Under his guidance, the BJP won 48 out of 90 seats in the recent election, giving the party a third term in power. This victory proves that Saini can deliver results for his party.

Saini is known for being easy to approach and talk to. This quality has helped him connect with people and party workers alike. As he starts his second term as Chief Minister, many are watching to see how he will handle the challenges of leading Haryana.
