What If Exit Poll Trends Mirror Actual Results In Haryana And J&K?

In Haryana, the Congress is projected to secure a clear majority. While the margin of that majority differs from poll to poll, the general direction of the results appears consistent. Five factors are worth considering when analysing these trends. First, the BJP is completing two terms in office and is seeking a third. In 2019, it came to power through an alliance with a regional party, an alliance that fell apart toward the end of the five-year term. Indications suggest that Haryana witnessed a direct contest between the BJP and the Congress, with state-based players largely marginalised, except in a few minor pockets.
