The BJP pulled off a stunning victory in Haryana’s 2024 assembly elections, winning 48 seats and clinching a third straight term, despite facing 10 years of anti-incumbency. The move to replace Manohar Lal Khattar with Nayab Singh Saini as chief ministerial candidate played a pivotal role,

Wrestler-turned-politician Vinesh Phogat won the Julana assembly constituency by a margin of 6,015, while Haryana Congress president Udai Bhan lost from Hodal Assembly constituency.

BJP achieved a narrow victory in the assembly polls with 39.94% votes versus Congress’s 39.09%. However, the BJP retained power for a third term in the state by securing 48 seats, while the Congress won 37.
