ML Khattar, a former RSS pracharak, is two-time Haryana Chief Minister. He resigned from the post of chief minister in March after Dushyant Chautala's JJP pulled out of the government over seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha elections.
TDP's Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu and Chandrasekhar Pemmasani; JDU's Lalan Singh and Ram Nath Thakur, RLD's Jayant Chaudhary, LJP's Chirag Paswan and HD Kumaraswamy are seven first-time ministers from the BJP's allies.
Jayant Chaudhary, the chief of RLD, joined the NDA ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections after the BJP posthumously honoured his grandfather with the Bharat Ratna. The RLD secured two seats in western Uttar Pradesh – Baghpat and Bijnor.
Chirag Paswan, son of the late Ram Vilas Paswan, won the Hajipur seat, held by his father for a record nine times. His party swept all five seats it contested in Bihar, making a resounding comeback from the tumultuous period following Ram Vilas Paswan's death in 2020.
Ram Nath Thakur, from the JDU, is the son of Karpoori Thakur, a renowned socialist leader and former Bihar Chief Minister. Thakur is known for his close association with Nitish Kumar and his influence among the most backward classes. He previously served as a Bihar minister between 2005 and 2010.
