New Delhi: Jannayak Janata Party leader Dushyant Chautala is likely to be made Haryana deputy chief minister in the BJP-led government, which is set to take oath in a few days, sources said on Friday.

Chautala, whose party has 10 MLAs, reached BJP president Amit Shah's residence here. A deal between the two parties was clinched, they said.

Manohar Lal Khattar will be heading the new government. The BJP won 40 seats in the 90-member Haryana assembly, six short of a majority.
