Early leads indicate a win for BJP in Haryana. But most of the surveys have given it for the Congress. The Congress is hopeful of a comeback while the BJP is aiming for a hattrick.
The counting of votes cast in the Haryana Assembly elections has begun, with the ruling BJP eyeing a third consecutive term and the Congress is optimistic about ending its 10-year exile from power. The counting began at 8 am, with heavy security arrangements in place.
This election marks a critical contest between the BJP and the Congress, the first direct face-off between the two major national parties since the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The outcome in Haryana could potentially shape political narratives ahead of upcoming elections in Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Delhi.
Although parties like Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), INLD-BSP, and JJP-Azad Samaj Party are also in the fray, the race in most constituencies is expected to be a direct BJP-Congress battle.
If the Congress wins it indicates that the base of BJP is eroding. If BJP wins this shows that the party is forging ahead.
