Mr. Khattar , was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Haryana for the second time on October 27 while JJP's Dushyant Chautala took oath as Deputy Chief Minister of the State. However, no other ministers were sworn in even though it was expected that a few MLAs would be inducted in the council of ministers along with the Chief Minister and his deputy.
