The upcoming cabinet reshuffle in Hary- ana, likely to be led by Nayab Singh Saini, is set to bring significant changes as the BJP focuses on infusing new faces into key ministerial positions.

Sources suggest that caste equations will play a pivotal role in determining the final list of ministers as the BJP aims to ensure balanced representation to maintain its electoral stronghold in the state.

According to party insiders, the BJP leadership is keen on selecting candidates from a diverse range of communities, including Jats, Brahmins, Vaishyas, Dalits, and Other Backward Classes (OBCs), especially Yadavs. This strategic move is designed to strengthen the party's foothold across different regions, ensuring that it remains a formidable force in the run-up to the assembly elections.

The BJP's recently elected 48 lawmakers reportedly held a meeting, though all eyes are on the central leadership, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as discussions over the final cabinet composition continue. Reports indicate that the oath-taking ceremony is tentatively scheduled for October 15.
