Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday won the trust vote for his government in the state Assembly.

The confidence motion was passed with voice vote. 

Earlier, the special session of the Haryana Assembly began here and obituary references were taken up.

The breakaway JJP faction MLAs were seen on the assembly premises. Devinder Babli, Ishwar Singh and Ram Kumar Gautam of the JJP defied the party whip and came to the House. Later, they left the House when the trust vote motion was taken up.

Leader of opposition Bhupinder Hooda and Congress MLA BB Batra sought a one-hour adjournment of the House. They said the House was convened at a short notice and a few members were still on their way.

Congress MLA Raghuvir Kadian said there was instability in the state and President’s rule should be imposed. He wanted a secret ballot on the trust vote, saying five MLAs of the BJP would vote against the motion.
