Polls of Exit Poll 2024 Results for Haryana Jammu & Kashmir: Having secured victories in both 2014 and 2019, the BJP is now aiming for a “hat-trick,” with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini at the helm, following his recent succession of Manohar Lal Khattar. The Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections are historically significant, as they are the first since the 2019 abrogation of Article 370.

New Delhi: In Haryana, the battle for the 90-member Assembly is intense, with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pushing for a third consecutive term. After winning in 2014 and 2019, the BJP is striving for a “hat-trick,” led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who took over from Manohar Lal Khattar earlier this year. Saini’s political future, along with many other key leaders, hinges on these elections.

Congress is the main contender, with Bhupinder Singh Hooda aiming to make a comeback after a decade out of power. Though Congress hasn’t named a chief ministerial candidate, Hooda is banking on anti-incumbency. The Congress has also fielded Vinesh Phogat in Julana and made alliances with its INDIA bloc partners, including the CPI(M).

Jammu and Kashmir’s assembly elections mark a significant moment in history, being the first since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. For the first time in over 70 years, communities like West Pakistan Refugees, Valmikis, and Gurkhas have gained voting rights, adding to the historic nature of these elections. Conducted in three phases, the voter turnout was impressive, with 69.65 per cent recorded in the final phase.
