HaryanaElection-2024: exit-polls predicts a congress return
Almost all poll survey agencies, through their exit polls, see Congress upsetting the ruling BJP in the Haryana assembly election that concluded on October 5. As per the Exit- Poll results, the Congress party is going to hit the 50+ mark in the 90-member assembly, while BJP may end up with below thirty. Others including AAP, INLD, and JJP will fail to get a bite.
Republic TV – Matrize gives 55-62 seats to Congress and 18- 24 seats to BJP. A Survey by News-24 and Chanakya predicts in favor of Congress with these exact figures. Dainik Bhaskar claims that Congress will finish between the range of 44-54, and BJP between 15 and 24. For Dhruv Research it is 50-64 to Congress and 22-32 to BJP. INLD and JJP as the third front in the poll battle lags far behind to make any impression as the exit- polls come up with their survey reports.
Voting for 90 assembly seats in Haryana have taken place on October 5. Counting is scheduled for October 8.
BJP had taken to the field for its successive third term, carrying the burden of 10 years of anti-incumbency. On the other hand, congress fought the election on the plank of Jatt- jawan- pahilwan.
There are reports of massive infight in the Congress with former Chief Minister Bhupendar Singh Hooda, Kumari Sailja, and Randeep Surjewala being parties. Yet the survey predictions show Congress has successfully managed the challenge.
BJP removed Manohar Lal Khattar from the Chief Minister post and brought about a big change in the Cabinet just six months before the election to counter the anti-incumbency.
As the survey reports going in Congress’ favor, a happy hooda has thanked the people of Haryana. He said that the people of Haryana had made up their minds well before the elections to change the corrupt BJP government.
Despite the adverse survey reports for BJP the party leaders claim to retain power in Haryana for the third five-year term in a row. Counter-polorization against the Jatts is their source of hope.
