Congress lost to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in a row for the third time in the Haryana Assembly elections. Defying all pollsters’ predictions and exit polls’ claims, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pulled off a victory which is a big boost for the saffron party ahead of the key elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. On the other hand, to Congress, the debacle in Haryana is a huge blow which may have implications for upcoming polls. BJP won 48 seats securing comfortable majority, while Congress bagged 37 seats and INLD two seats. Dushayant Chautala’s JJP drew a nil contrast to the kingmaker’s role in the 2019 assembly elections in Haryana. JJP won 10 seats in 2019.
