The primary parties competing in the Haryana Election 2024 are the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD). The BJP is aiming for a third consecutive victory, while Congress hopes to end its decade-long absence from power.
Dramatic Turnaround in Haryana Election Results
In a thrilling turn of events during the vote counting of the Haryana Assembly Election 2024, the landscape shifted dramatically around 9 AM. Initially, Congress started with thumping majority, celebrating early leads with jalebis and dhols at their Delhi headquarters, while the BJP office was already gloomy due to the shadows from the exit polls that predicted a massive Congress majority in Haryana.
However, the tide began to turn within an hour and we could see the dynamics shifting in no time. The BJP registered a massive comeback, and they took a firm lead within a couple of hours. What followed was a remarkable display of resilience, as the BJP marched towards its most significant victory in Haryana, defying early exit poll predictions that suggested its total downfall. Since the Loksabha election earlier this year, questions are being raised about the authenticity of such polls as they have continuously failed to make a mark.
With several rounds of counting still ahead, it became increasingly clear that the BJP’s lead was solidifying, setting the stage for a major political statement in the state.
This election is shaping up to be a testament to the BJP’s effective strategy and voter appeal, marking a pivotal moment in Haryana’s political landscape.
