Haryana Election Results 2024

The BJP scored a hat-trick in Haryana, winning 48 of the 90 seats in the state Assembly. It emerged as the single-largest party in the 2024 Haryana elections. Unlike in the 2019 polls, when the BJP formed a coalition government, this time, the party has comfortably crossed the majority mark, enabling it to form the government single-handedly.

Meanwhile, the Congress won 37 seats, only nine short of the majority mark. A political party needs to win at least 46 seats to win majority and form government in Haryana.

Congress MP Kumari Selja expressed her 'disappointment' on her party's performance in Haryana. She said that all the efforts of party workers have "gone to waste", adding that the Congress needs to introspect the results.

"The results are extremely disappointing. Our workers worked for so long, we went to villages with the message of Rahul Gandhi but after the results, it looks like all their efforts have gone to waste. The party needs to see this, the party will introspect. Such results should not have come," Selja was quoted by ANI as saying.

The Congress contested 89 of the 90 Haryana Assembly seats — except Bhiwani which it left for the CPI(M) — and the tickets for most went to Bhupinder Singh Hooda loyalists or those considered close to him. Besides, the party re-fielded all 28 sitting MLAs, most of whom owe allegiance to Hooda, ANI reported.

The 90 seats of Haryana went to polls in a single phase on October 5.
