Exit Poll for Haryana: Congress is projected to win between 50-58 seats, while the BJP is expected to secure only 20-28 seats
The India Today-CVoter Exit Poll for Haryana’s 2024 assembly elections indicates a significant shift in voter sentiment against the ruling BJP government led by Manohar Lal Khattar. The Congress, led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda, is projected to win between 50-58 seats, while the BJP is expected to secure only 20-28 seats. This represents a sharp decline for the BJP, which has been in power in the state since 2014. The Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), a key ally of the BJP, is expected to win only 0-2 seats, further weakening the current government’s position.
In terms of vote share, Congress is predicted to capture around 44%, compared to 37% for the BJP. This outcome, if reflected in the final results, would pave the way for Bhupinder Singh Hooda to return as Chief Minister after a decade, marking a decisive shift in Haryana’s political landscape. Many voters reportedly expressed discontent with the current BJP government, citing issues related to governance and economic challenges.
This exit poll suggests a one-sided victory for Congress in Haryana, signaling a potential change in leadership and a new political era for the state.
