Manohar Lal Khattar, who currently serves as Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, has had a long political journey spanning several decades. Born in 1954 in Nindana village of Rohtak district in Haryana, he began his public life with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1977 and later joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1994. He rose through the party ranks and became the first BJP Chief Minister of Haryana in 2014 after winning the Karnal Assembly seat.

Over the years, Khattar has been closely associated with governance and organisational responsibilities, particularly in urban development and infrastructure planning. His political career has been marked by his transition from organisational work to executive governance, and he continues to play a significant role in shaping policy in urban and energy-related sectors at the national level.
