1. Election Schedule & Background

On October 5, 2024, all 90 constituencies cast ballots in the Haryana Assembly Elections 2024. On October 8, 2024, the postal ballots were counted first, and then the electronic voting machines (EVMs) starting at 8 AM.
With the Congress Party looking to return to power after a decade out of office and the BJP aiming for a third consecutive term, this election carried a lot of political weight. Both parties used key leaders and tactics to seize control of the state, reflecting the broader national political rivalry.

Party / Alliance Seats Won Vote Share
BJP (NDA) 48 ~39.94%
Congress (INDIA) 37 ~39.09%
INLD 2 ~4.14%
Independents 3 —

BJP made history by securing a third consecutive term in Haryana — a first in the state's political timeline.

  • BJP secured 48 seats, Congress 37
  • Bharatiya Janata Party became the first party in Haryana’s history to secure a third consecutive term as both a single party and as NDA .

🔁 3. Initial Patterns versus Final Results

In the early stages of vote counting, most exit polls and TV channels projected a clear edge for the Congress, with some even predicting a majority of 49–55 seats for them. Celebrations began in several Congress offices as visuals showed the party leading in over 60 seats by mid-morning.
But as the day went on, the figures started to change. The BJP began gradually gaining ground by the afternoon, eventually surpassing the Congress and finishing with 48 seats, while the Congress lost ground to 37. Many observers were taken aback by the outcome.

The Congress expressed doubts about the counting process’s integrity after the sudden reversal. Citing discrepancies in the trend shifts, they claimed technical delays in EVM updates and called for an investigation by the Election Commission.

4. Key Winners & Leadership

  • Bhupinder Singh Hooda (Congress): Despite a strong campaign, Congress underperformed; Hooda expressed surprise at the outcome.
  • Notable newcomers include Devender Kadyan (Independent, Ganaur), Shruti Choudhry (Tosham, BJP), and Aditya Surjewala (Kaithal, INC).

5. Political Trends & Voter Turnout

The voter turnout in Haryana was around 68%, which was only a slight change compared to the previous election. What stood out this time was how closely matched the vote share was between the two main parties—BJP and Congress—each securing nearly 40% of the total votes.
However, despite this near tie in vote percentage, the BJP managed to convert its support into more seats, thanks to better vote distribution across key constituencies. This gave them a clear edge in the final tally.
Smaller parties struggled to make an impact. The Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), which had been part of the ruling coalition earlier, failed to win a single seat. The INLD barely held on with just 2 seats, while a few independent candidates succeeded in select pockets.

📣 6. Political Repercussions and Aftermath

  • PM Modi described the BJP’s “unexpected” victory as a confirmation of politics centered on development.
  • Congress requested that the alleged malpractices be looked into.
  • Internally, Congress began reshuffling at district-level leadership, hinting at efforts to resolve factional rifts
  • After winning, the BJP’s new chief minister prioritized Sikh community leaders and government agencies, even endorsing the elections for the Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.

✍️ 7. Thoughts & Importance

  • The significant divergence from exit-poll forecasts highlights the unpredictability of Indian state elections.
  • The BJP’s superior vote-to-seat mapping is demonstrated by its ability to win despite having nearly the same vote share.
  • Congress faces deep organisational woes—internal factions and ticket distribution controversies hurt its performance.
  • Ahead of crucial state elections in Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and other states, the BJP’s stability in Haryana sets the tone.
