According to exit polls, the Congress party is expected to secure a decisive victory in Haryana, gaining a clear majority in the state’s elections. This potential win could mark a significant political shift, reflecting strong public support for the party across various constituencies in the region.
If Congress is projected to sweep Haryana with a clear majority, it would signify a major shift in the state’s political landscape, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies, like Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), have been significant players there in recent years. Haryana’s political environment often swings between key regional and national parties, and issues such as farm laws, unemployment, caste dynamics, and local leadership usually play a large role in electoral outcomes.
If Congress is gaining momentum, it could be tied to their local strategy, leadership, and perhaps a shift in public sentiment toward issues affecting rural areas, farmers, and the economy.
Exit polls for the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections indicate a strong showing for the Congress party, which is projected to win a clear majority. Various polls suggest that Congress could secure between 55 and 62 seats in the 90-seat assembly, well above the majority mark of 46. This would represent a significant defeat for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is expected to win only 14 to 21 seats. The Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) and other smaller parties are forecast to win minimal seats, around 2 to 4 collectively.
The Congress’s resurgence appears to stem from anti-incumbency sentiment and strategic campaigning on key local issues, potentially signaling a major political shift in Haryana after a decade of BJP-led governance.
Results for the Assembly Elections will be declared on 8 October.
