Being an OBC leader is the most significant reason why the BJP chose Kurukshetra MP Nayab Singh Saini. Haryana has nearly 44% OBCs and, in fact, this was also the reason he was made the state unit chief last year
Manohar Lal Khattar and the new CM know each other from their RSS days. Saini, who is the Kurukshetra MP, was appointed the state BJP chief last October.
