- Mahipal Dhanda

Previously, there had not been any major changes among the ministers in Haryana, but this new cabinet was formed following the BJP's recent electoral victory.
Key Highlights of the Haryana Cabinet 2024
Caste Representation: The new cabinet features:
- 2 MLAs each from Dalit, Brahmin, and Jat communities
- 4 OBC ministers
- 1 Rajput and 1 Punjabi minister
- 1 Bania minister.
Prominent Ministers:
- Anil Vij: An experienced politician and MLA from Ambala Cantt, who is included in the new cabinet as he wasn't there in the previous one.
- Mahipal Dhanda: Conserved the same as in the previous cabinet
- Aarti Rao: The new blood added to the cabinet.
- Krishna Lal Panwar, Krishna Bedi, Dr. Arvind Sharma, Gaurav Gautam, and Shyam Singh Rana are some of the key cabinet ministers.
Inauguration Ceremony: The inauguration ceremony was held at Panchkula and was attended by top party leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Political Game: With Saini as Chief Minister and the kind of cabinet that was formed under him, it has been viewed as a further attempt to consolidate OBC and non-Jat votes, as with balancing Congressional votes in favour of Jats and Dalits.
It is a Cabinet that marks a very important moment in the state's politics, focusing on community representation while striving hard for governance stability after a historic electoral victory by the BJP.
