In his first reaction to the Haryana Assembly election results, Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated the BJP’s historic third consecutive term, calling it a triumph of development and good governance.

After the Election Commission announced that the BJP had won 47 seats, securing a majority in the 90-member Assembly, PM Modi expressed his gratitude on X (formerly Twitter), thanking the people of Haryana for their trust. He acknowledged the tireless efforts of party workers, crediting them for the party’s success.

BJP’s Historic Victory in Haryana

Posting on social media, the Prime Minister stated:
“My heartiest congratulations to all my party workers who have worked tirelessly and with full dedication for this great victory! You have not only served the people of the state to the fullest, but have also taken our agenda of development to them. It is because of this that the BJP has got this historic victory in Haryana.”

This is the BJP’s best-ever tally in Haryana after 10 years in power, defying exit polls that predicted a Congress win.

Congress Falls Short Despite Early Lead

The Congress, which was projected by several exit polls to win around 55 seats, initially seemed on track to surpass expectations. However, after a couple of hours of counting, the tide turned in BJP’s favor. The Congress could only secure 37 seats, a modest improvement of six seats compared to 2019.

Narrow Vote Share Difference

The final vote share was a close contest, with the BJP securing 39.94% and the Congress trailing slightly at 39.09%. Despite the slim margin in vote share, the BJP managed to effectively counter anti-incumbency, adding eight more seats to its previous total.

Congress’s inability to fully capitalize on discontent among key voter groups like farmers, youth, and sportspersons over issues such as the Agniveer scheme, wrestlers’ protests, and demands for minimum support price (MSP) reforms was seen as a major factor in their defeat.
