The Nayab Singh Saini government in Haryana on Wednesday won the confidence motion in the Assembly through a voice vote. Saini had sworn in as the new chief minister of Haryana on Tuesday, after Manohar Lal Khattar resigned as the CM earlier in the day.
The Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) had issued a whip, asking its 10 legislators to remain absent from the House during voting on the confidence motion. However, when the issue of trust vote was taken up, only five of its MLAs left the House, reported PTI.
