Chandigarh:
As Haryana braces for the counting of votes cast in the recent Assembly elections, the ruling BJP is eyeing a third consecutive term and the Congress is optimistic about ending its 10-year exile from power. Votes will be counted from 8 am, with heavy security arrangements in place.
This election marks a critical contest between the BJP and the Congress, the first direct face-off between the two major national parties since the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The outcome in Haryana could potentially shape political narratives ahead of upcoming elections in Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Delhi. Although parties like Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), INLD-BSP, and JJP-Azad Samaj Party are also in the fray, the race in most constituencies is expected to be a direct BJP-Congress battle.
