BJP’s Haryana hurricane

Late in the evening of October 8, even as the euphoria over the surprise victory in Haryana was still sinking in, Prime Minister Narendra Modi followed a tradition he has set in place after every important election win—appearing at the BJP headquarters in the national capital to address jubilant party workers. After the party agonisingly fell short of the majority mark in the Lok Sabha election in June, the mood had turned sombre and introspective. But now, with the miraculous ‘hat-trick of assembly wins’ in Haryana and the creditable performance in Jammu and Kashmir, the josh is back among BJP workers.Source link

Who Will Be Next Haryana CM? Congress, BJP Will Be Faced With Tough Choices

The exit polls for the Haryana Assembly elections pointed to a big BJP upset and a massive Congress victory. Although exit polls have been known to get the election results wrong in the past, they can give one an idea of what lies in store for the people of a state for the next five years. The Haryana results are due tomorrow and it looks to be a tough road ahead for the top leadership, irrespective of which party wins. Going by the exit polls released on Saturday evening, it's a clear win for the Congress. Congress, which was once a dominant party in Haryana, fell flat on its face in 2014, losing 25 seats. In 2019, it managed to save grace with 31 seats, but couldn't come to power. The BJP, which got 40 seats, and Dushyant Chautala's Jannayak Janta Party, with 10 MLAs formed the governmen...
