Haryana
As the counting of votes for the Haryana Assembly elections is underway, political parties and leaders await the results with bated breath. With a dramatic turnaround, the BJP crossed the halfway mark as per the Election Commission’s data. Meanwhile, the Congress party which was leading in the initial trends is now trailing.
The ruling BJP aims to secure a third consecutive term, while the Congress, out of power for the last decade, is optimistic about making a comeback. Several exit polls have also suggested a potential victory for Congress.
This election also marks the first significant direct contest between the BJP and Congress since the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The outcome will likely influence the narratives both parties will construct as they approach elections in other states scheduled over the coming months.
Haryana, which held single-phase voting on October 5, recorded an impressive voter turnout of 67.90% across 90 assembly constituencies in 22 districts. Key players in this electoral battle include the BJP, Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, INLD-BSP, and the JJP-Azad Samaj Party.
