The ruling BJP overcame anti-incumbency to clinch a third consecutive victory in Haryana's assembly elections, defying exit polls and thwarting Congress' resurgence bid. The results announced Tuesday saw BJP capturing 48 seats, its best-ever tally, while smaller parties like JJP and AAP faced severe losses.

The BJP's unexpected sweeping success stems from strategic governance promises and capitalizing on caste equations, countering Congress' narratives. Prime Minister Narendra Modi attributed the victory to the party's good governance under his leadership, emphasizing seamless community support against Congress' criticisms.

As BJP celebrated its triumph with jubilant scenes across Haryana, the contrasting mood in the Congress camp reflected its unexpected defeat despite earlier promising trends in exit polls. Senior Congress leader Hooda acknowledged the misjudged atmosphere, while BJP's Nayab Singh Saini thanked voters for endorsing BJP's policies.
