Haryana Assembly Elections 2024 Live Updates: Will BJP retain power for a historic third term or will the Congress return to power after a decade? The big question will be answered shortly as votes for the Haryana assembly elections are counted on Tuesday, October 8. The contest in Haryana is largely expected to be bi-polar one with the BJP and Congress being the main challengers. Besides, several regional and smaller parties, including Om Prakash Chautalaโs INLD, Dushyant Chautalaโs JJP and the Aam Aadmi Party, are also in the fray.
While the exit polls have predicted a strong show by the Congress, the BJP argues they have often proved wrong. In 2019, most exit polls predicted a clear majority for the BJP, but the final results were different. The BJP won 40 seats and formed government with Dushyant Chautalaโs JJP which won 10 seats. The Congress managed to secure 31 seats.
