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.

Kangana Ranaut's repeated remarks on the three repealed farm laws and the farmers' protest of 2020-21 have stirred up a political debate, putting the Bharatiya Janata Party on the back foot.
