Manohar Lal Khattar (Hindi: मनोहर लाल खट्टर, Punjabi: ਮਨੋਹਰ ਲਾਲ ਖੱਟਰ) (born 5 May 1954) is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politician, and current Chief Minister of Haryana state in India. He is a former RSS pracharak. He represents Karnal constituency in Haryana Legislative Assembly, and was sworn-in as Chief Minister of Haryana after BJP's win in the Haryana Legislative Assembly election, 2014.
Khattar belongs to a Punjabi family. Khattar was born in 1954 in Nindana village of Meham Chobisi, tehsil in Rohtak district of Haryana. His father, Harbans Lal Khattar, was of the Khatri caste, who migrated to Haryana from West Punjab following the Partition of India in 1947. His family initially settled in the Banyani village of Rohtak district and took up farming.
Khattar completed his matriculation (final year of high school) from Pandit Neki Ram Sharma Government College, Rohtak. He then moved to Delhi, and ran a shop near Sadar Bazar while completing his bachelor's degree from Delhi University.
Khattar joined Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in 1977, and became a full-time pracharak three years later. As a pracharak, he is a lifelong bachelor. He worked as a full-time pracharak for 14 years before moving to BJP, in 1994.
