 As many as 1,169 candidates are fighting for 90 assembly seats. And, leaders arrived in tractors and bicycles and voters too danced a polling stations — it was an interesting day for Haryana assembly polls. The current chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar from the Bharatiya Janata Party is seeking a second term, and arrived dramatically on a bicycle. Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi took a dig at Bakhshish Singh Virk, the BJP MLA from Assandh constituency in Haryana, calling him "the most honest man in the BJP". Gandhi shared a video in which the MLA claimed that no matter which button is pressed on the EVM, the vote would go to the saffron party. On the other hand, stone pelting between supporters of the two key parties — Congress and the BJP — was reported from Nuh district in Mewat. Mewat has three Assembly constituencies -- Nuh, Ferozpur Jhirka and Punhana and about 500,000 voters. Voters at Sanghi in Haryana, which is the seat of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, were dancing at the polling station as they waited for their leader.

 Fight for power Khattar, who became the first BJP CM in 2014, might be riding high on BJP’s latest win in the state during the Lok Sabha general elections, where the party won all 10 LS seats. But he faces strong competition from Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the two-time chief minister of the state. Hooda, amidst much hullabaloo, got his party – the Indian National Congress’ ticket – to fight for the elections. Hooda, along with his strong political background, is also the party’s Jat face in Haryana. The Jat community holds over 25% of the state’s population forming a large vote bank. The state’s regional party The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) too is counting on the Jat votes.

Haryana assembly elections: 1.83 crore voters to decide the fate of the state

In today’s Maharashtra and Haryana assembly elections, the average <keyword id="43677" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Voter-turnout">voter turnout</keyword> was slightly low. The voter turnout was 65% in Haryana and 55% in Maharashtra. 

	While longer queues were seen in rural areas, the voter turnout in urban areas was quite low, especially in Mumbai, where the turnout was merely 37%. The same trend has been observed in the past as well, where rural people demonstrated more enthusiasm and responsibility towards Indian democracy.<o:p></o:p>

	One must note that every major party was trying their level best to come out with flying colours in these elections. BJP banked on Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>’s personal charisma to seek political majority in two key states after abandoning its long-term ally, Shiv Sena. The Congress party broke off with NCP hoping that Sonia-Rahul Gandhi’s charm would help them win hearts as well as votes. And then there was Shiv Sena that asked people to bring <keyword id="53973" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Uddhav-Thackeray">Uddhav Thackeray</keyword> to power and fulfil their leader <keyword id="6371377" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Bal-Thackeray">Bal Thackeray</keyword>’s last wish. <o:p></o:p>
However, it seems none of the parties could convince people enough to come out in huge numbers and cast their votes.

However, the BJP and its allies led by Manohar Lal Khattar have fallen short of the majority. The midway mark is at 45 and the winning side needs at least 46 to form the government. Embarrassingly for hte BJP, seven of its state cabinet ministers have lost their own seats. "I thank the people of Haryana for blessing us. We will continue to work with the same zeal and dedication for the state’s progress. I laud the efforts of hardworking @BJP4Haryana Karyakartas who toiled extensively and went among the people to elaborate on our development agenda," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said. On the other hand, Congress has gained hugely in vote share compared to the last assembly elections and is leading in 28 seats so far. Congress had 28.1% vote share in Haryana, according to data from Election Commission. Much of the gains have come from areas Garhi Sampla (Bhupinder Singh Hooda's home constituency) and other surrounding parts like Beri, Badli, Jhajjar, Bawani Khera, up until Israna. <table style="width: 261pt;"> </colgroup> <tbody><tr> <td class="xl63" style="height:15.75pt;width:87pt">Party/Alliance</td> <td class="xl64" style="width:87pt">2019 Voteshare</td> <td class="xl64" style="width:87pt">2014 vote share</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.75pt;width:87pt">BJP+</td> <td class="xl66" style="width:87pt">36.5%</td> <td class="xl66" style="width:87pt">33.20%</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.75pt;width:87pt">Congress+</td> <td class="xl66" style="width:87pt">28.1%</td> <td class="xl66" style="width:87pt">20.60%</td> </tr></tbody></table> "We accept the people's mandate humbly and respectfully. We also want to say that it is a moral defeat for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Given the close contest between the Congress and BJP, the one-year old Jannayak Janta party (JJP) led by Dushyant Chautala may become the kingmaker. For now, Chautala has already declared support for any party that would back him to be the state Chief Minister. <table style="width: 261pt;"> </colgroup> <tbody><tr> <td class="xl63" style="height:15.75pt;width:87pt">Party/Alliance</td> <td class="xl64" style="width:87pt">Leads</td> <td class="xl64" style="width:87pt">Wins</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.75pt;width:87pt">BJP+</td> <td class="xl66" style="width:87pt">17</td> <td class="xl67" style="width:87pt">23</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.75pt;width:87pt">Congress+</td> <td class="xl66" style="width:87pt">12</td> <td class="xl67" style="width:87pt">19</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.75pt;width:87pt">JJP</td> <td class="xl66" style="width:87pt">10</td> <td class="xl67" style="width:87pt">0</td> </tr></tbody></table> The poll of exit polls shows an easy victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party or the BJP. However, there is one from India Today-Axis that has predicted a hung assembly in the state, leaving room for some anxiety in all camps. The BJP had won 47 seats in the 2014 Haryana assembly election, Congress won 15 seats, the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) won 19 seats, while others won 9 seats. Factors at play in 2019 The assembly elections this year took place five months after the BJP’s clean sweep in the Parliamentary polls, just like in 2014. However, this year, there was less excitement on the voting day. The turnout fell to 65%, down from 76.54% in the previous election. In the general elections earlier this year, the BJP was able to garner a clear majority even in the state with 34% of the votes and 70% of the seats. The government in Haryana has largely mirrored the one at the Centre, either by electing the same party or an ally in the state. Going by that trend, BJP had an upper hand. However, the larger economic slowdown in the country has had a major impact on Haryana's voter sentiment. The state is one of India's largest automobile hubs and accounts for two thirds of passenger cars, 50% of tractors and 60% of motorcycles manufactured in the country, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). The infamous slowdown in car sales has led to large-scale job losses in Haryana. Districts such as Panipat, Gurugram, Faridabad, Hisar and Sonipat are home to many textile businesses, particularly, readymade cotton garments, which is one of the major exports of Haryana. The sector is dire straits due to loss of competitive edge to other countries in the region and that too, has hurt the livelihood of many people. The agrarian distress, also widespread in the country, has also shown its impact in the state. Still, the state economy has grown at a compounded annual growth rate of 12.67% over the last seven years and has led to much prosperity in many parts. This is in part due to the explosion of IT and IT-enabled services in the state, especially in the city of Gurgaon. The political balance Politically, the state’s votes were divided into Jats and Punjabi — the two dominant social segments. Over the last few years, the Punjabis have preferred the BJP. Which is why BJP got a large chunk of its seats from Punjabi-dominated areas Chandigarh, Panchkula, Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal and Panipat — pretty much the entire route from Delhi to Chandigarh except Sonepat. However, the BJP has managed to consolidate the upper castes in the state into a significant vote bank which has benefited the party hugely in diluting the dominance of the Jats. 30% of the state population is from the lowest rung of the Indian society, the Dalits. They are not known to be BJP backers but as seen in the 2019 Parliamentary elections, some of the traditional caste calculus tend to break in the absence of a credible opposition. Since his election, Chief Minister Khattar has seen many controversies including an agitation by Jats demanding the benefits of the ‘Other Backward Class’, protests by many thousands of supporters of a self-styled Godman, Baba Rahim, and small-scale riots on the streets over a movie that was later released under the title of Padmavat, to name a few. Yet, a series of family feuds and corruption charges have kept opposition leaders busy firefighting most of the time and less prepared for the electoral battle. Add to that, Narendra Modi’s charm that worked wonders in the recently concluded general elections and since then, some emotive issues like the suspension of Article 370 that gave the state of Jammu and Kashmir a ‘special’ status have been largely well received by the people of the state. The opposition particularly the Congress made some gains but it wasn't enough to capitalise on BJP's lapses.
