In this election, the ruling BJP won only 40 seats in a 90-member Assembly, thus short of 7 votes to form a government. Then, BJP decided to form a coalition government along with JJP. On 27 October 2019, BJP's Manoharlal Khattar was sworn in as Chief Minister of Haryana, and Dushyant Chautala took the oath as Deputy Chief Minister. The coalition between BJP and JJP came to an end when CM Manoharlal Khattar resigned and a new CM (Naib Singh Saini) took over in mid-March 2024. Hence Dushayant had to leave the post of Deputy Chief Minister.
