Haryana [India], October 5 (ANI): The Congress is likely to make a strong comeback in Haryana after a decade in the recently held Assembly elections, according to TV-Today C voter projection, which said that the party may win 50-58 seats in the state.
The majority mark to form the government in the 90-member assembly is 46.
According to TV-Today C-voter projections, the Congress is likely to win 50-58 seats in the state while the BJP can win 20-28 seats. The other can win 10-16 seats.
Congress leader and former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Saturday attributed this projected win to the impressive track record of Congress between 2005 and 2014, coupled with the perceived failures of the BJP-led government from 2014 to 2024, marked by corruption and underperformance.
“I have been saying this since we started campaigning that there is a wave in favour of Congress. Congress will form a government with a thumping majority…The main factor was our achievements from 2005-2014 and the failure of the BJP government from 2014-2024- corruption and non-performance. We will work on unemployment, education and security,” Hooda told ANI.
According to the Republic TV-Matrize poll, the Congress Party may get 55-62 seats out of 90, while the BJP is poised to win18-24 seats.
People Pulse poll survey said that the Congress may get 44-54 seats, BJP 15-29 and others may win up to 4-9 seats.
Dainik Bhaskar in its poll survey suggested that the Congress will get 44-54 seats, BJP 15-29 and others may get 4-9.
As per the Dhruv Research polls survey, the Congress may get 50-64 seats, and BJP may win up to 22-32 seats in the state.
Congress leader Capt. Ajay Singh Yadav, Chairman of the AICC OBC unit said that the party should get 60 seats adding that it won’t be a surprise if the number crosses 65 as well.
“Exit polls have started coming. I think we should get around 60 seats. Some 10-12 (election) tickets were not given appropriately, else it was going to be a tsunami. It won’t be a surprise if the number of seats crosses 65 as well. Many start campaigners came here, if Rahul Gandhi had come it would have been good,” he said.
Meanwhile, Union MoS & BJP leader Ch. Krishan Pal Gurjar exuded confidence that the BJP will form the government in the state by winning over 50 seats.
“I am confident that BJP will form the government by winning over 50 seats in the state,” he said.
AAP President Sushil Gupta said that the people of Haryana have voted for change.
“The people of Haryana have voted for change. They have voted against the BJP’s arrogance, corruption, crime and rising unemployment. You will see results which will shock you on 8th October. I am confident that we will play an important role,” the AAP leader said.
