After the BJP won a clear majority in the 2014 Haryana Assembly
Elections, the party on Tuesday decided to elect Manohar Lal Khattar as
the new Chief Minister of the state.
Khattar was reportedly preferred by the party because of his clean image and also for his commitment towards the part. Here are the important things you need to know about the newly appointed Haryana CM:
60-year-old
Manohar Lal Khattar was born in a village called Nidana in Rohtak
district of Haryana to a Punjabi shopkeeper. His family had been forced
out of their house after Partition in 1947, after which they moved to
Haryana.
He joined the RSS in 1977 and became a full-time pracharak (worker) in 1980. He later joined the BJP after 14 years of service in the RSS, according to this BJP profile of Khattar. He was the Organisational General Secretary of BJP in Haryana from 2000 to 2014 and the Chairman of BJP's Haryana Election Committee for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Khattar is the first non-Jat Chief Minister in Haryana in 18 years. He contested the Haryana polls from the Karnala constituency, which he won by a margin of 63,736 votes. Karnala is also the constituency from where PM Narendra Modi began campaigning for the 15 October state assembly polls.
It was in 1996, that Manohar Lal started working with Modi, who was then in charge of Haryana. In 2002, Manohar Lal was given the charge of Jammu and Kashmir as the State's Election in-charge. A close aide of PM Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, Khattar does not have any administrative experience, according to reports.
His tenure as party general secretary established him as a strategist, an able and firm handed administrator, and a man who had a keen sense of the state's politics.
In the aftermath of the Bhuj earthquake, Khattar was called upon to manage the elections in Kutch district by Modi and the BJP secured three out of six seats.
The first elections held in the then newly created state of Chhattisgarh also saw Khattar's contribution to the party's position. He worked in Bastar which was a traditionally Congress-voting area and won 10 out of 12 seats - thus playing a decisive role in bringing BJP to power in the state.
Apart from his crucial role in the party's success in states like Punjab, Haryana and Chhattisgarh, he was given prominent roles in various elections in different states where he always delivered results.
Khattar had sparked controversy earlier when he said that girls needed to wear 'decent' clothes to avoid sexual assault. "If a girl is dressed decently, a boy will not look at her in the wrong way," Khattar had said. "If you want freedom, why don't they just roam around naked? Freedom has to be limited. These short clothes are western influences. Our country's tradition asks girls to dress decently."
On the issue of Khap panchayats and their rulings, Khattar had said, "Khaps maintain the tradition of a girl and boy being brother and sister. They are just making sure that a girl and boy do not see each other in the wrong way. These rulings help prevent rapes too."
Khattar was reportedly preferred by the party because of his clean image and also for his commitment towards the part. Here are the important things you need to know about the newly appointed Haryana CM:

Chief Minister of Haryana – Manohar Lal Khattar (Source: PTI Graphics)
An RSS man, Manohar Lal Khattar toiled on the ground to build the
organisation for last four decades till he was handpicked by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi to lead the first BJP government in Haryana.The 60-year-old bachelor, known for his simple lifestyle and clean image, may be a first-time MLA but he has earned himself the reputation of a tough task master with a no-nonsense approach while working behind-the-scenes in key positions in BJP and is admired for organisational skills.
The man, whose parents worked as labourers and who once wanted to be a medico, has become the first Punjabi chief Minister of Haryana and the first non-Jat leader to occupy the post after 18 years.
Known for his political acumen, Khattar played the role of a master strategist and successfully led many electoral campaigns for his party, the latest being 2014 Parliamentary elections in Haryana as chairman of Election Campaign committee.
It was in 1996, when Khattar was actively working in Haryana, that he first began working with Modi, who was then in charge of the state. In 2002, Khattar was given alloted Jammu and Kashmir as the state’s election Incharge.
Notably, Prime Minister Modi started his election campaign for the 2014 Haryana assembly polls by addressing his first rally on October 4 at Karnal, the constituency from where Khattar recorded an emphatic win.
Coming from a humble agricultural background, his family arrived in Haryana from Pakistan post-partition.
They settled at Nindana, a village situated in Haryana’s Rohtak district. To survive, his father and grandfather took up odd jobs as labourers, finally saving enough to start a small shop. It was in Nindana that Khattar was born in 1954.

चाय
बेचने वाला प्रधानमंत्री बना तो अब हरियाणा का मुखिया सब्जी बेचने वाला
बनेगा। रोहतक जिले केगांव बनियानी केमनोहर लाल खट्टर को विधायक दल का नेता
चुना गया, जो बचपन में सब्जी बेचा करते थे। उनका बचपन संघर्ष में बीता।
कुछ समझदार हुए तो घर त्याग कर राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संघ के प्रचारक बन गए। भले ही गांव से उनका बाद में ज्यादा संपर्क नहीं रहा लेकिन उन्हें मुख्यमंत्री बनाए जाने की घोषणा के बाद से वहां जश्न का माहौल बन गया। लोगों का कहना था कि धनतेरस के दिन इससे बड़ा तोहफा उन्हें और क्या मिल सकता है। वे उनके बचपन की एक-एक बात बताते नहीं थक रहे।
