Haryana Exit Poll Results 2024: BJP Faces Setback as Congress Poised for Power
In the recently concluded Haryana and Jammu-Kashmir assembly elections, a fierce competition ensued between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress. Exit polls released on October 5 indicate a significant shift in Haryana, with Congress expected to regain power after a decade. The official election results will be announced on October 8.
Key Exit Poll Predictions
- India Today-CVoter Exit Poll: Congress is projected to win 50-58 seats out of 90.
- News24 Chanakya Poll: Congress is anticipated to secure 55-62 seats.
- Times Now Poll: Estimates suggest Congress could obtain 50-64 seats.
- India TV Poll: Predictions indicate Congress might win around 59 seats.
Aam Aadmi Party’s Struggles
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) fielded candidates in the Haryana assembly elections, with Arvind Kejriwal actively campaigning. However, exit polls suggest that AAP may not secure any seats, indicating a challenging scenario for the party in this election.
Issues Influencing the Election
The Congress party capitalized on several pressing issues during its campaign, including:
- Farmers’ Issues: Addressing the concerns of farmers who have expressed dissatisfaction with the current government’s policies.
- Youth Programs: Criticizing the BJP’s Agni Veer scheme aimed at youth.
- Unemployment: Highlighting the rising unemployment rates in Haryana.
- Wrestlers’ Protests: Supporting the wrestlers who have been vocal about their demands and grievances.
Given that Haryana is a significant agricultural state with proximity to New Delhi, these issues resonated strongly with the electorate, potentially jeopardizing BJP’s chances in the state.
Conclusion
While exit polls indicate a likely Congress majority and a setback for the ruling BJP, the final seat distribution will be confirmed after the official results are announced. The electoral landscape remains dynamic, and both parties will be keenly observing the outcomes based on the pressing issues that influenced the voters’ decisions.
