With election results imminent, Haryana teeters on a political seesaw. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, confident of a third term, faces a resurgent Congress eager for a comeback after a decade-long exile from power.
Preparations are in full swing for the counting process set to begin at 8 am on October 8. The elections represent the first significant face-off between BJP and Congress since the Lok Sabha polls, setting a precedent for upcoming elections in Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Delhi.
Stakeholders await results from a single-phase election involving 1,031 candidates across 90 constituencies. Exit polls hint at a Congress victory, prompting contrasting reactions from major players. A contest of direct confrontations, narrative-building, and election promises, the results promise a profound impact on Haryana's political landscape.
