With just days to go for the assembly elections in Haryana, the Republic-Jan Ki Baat Opinion poll has presented a snapshot projection of where the various parties stand at the moment in the states. With its 90 seats, Haryana goes to polls on October 21, and results of the same will be announced on October 24. The Opinion Poll has made a promising projection for the ruling BJP under Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

For Haryana, which will to polls in a single-phase on Monday, the Jan Ki Baat poll projects that the Khattar-led BJP is likely to win between 58 to 70 seats, while the Congress is projected to win anywhere between 12 to 18 seats. While the newly stitched INLD-SAD alliance is projected to get 0 to 1 seat, the JJP that has been formed by Dushyant Chautala after infighting in the Chautala family, and is backed by former Congress chief Ashok Tanwar, is projected to get 5 to 8 seats. The Opinion Poll has also projected BJP to get a massive vote share of 56.7%. 

Here’s the entire Jan Ki Baat projection:

SEAT SHARE:

  • BJP: 58 to 70
     
  • Congress: 12 to 18
     
  • INLD-SAD alliance: 0 to 1
     
  • JJP: 5 to 8 

VOTE SHARE:

  • BJP: 56.7%
     
  • Congress: 9.6%
     
  • INLD - SAD: 3.1%.
     
  • JJP: 25.6%

Lok Sabha elections 2019

The saffron party swept the state winning all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha polls. The pattern in Haryana has been those leading in the General Election, stake claim to power in the elections that follow to the state assembly. The Jan Ki Baat’s projections reiterate the same trend.

Assembly polls 2014

The projection suggests that BJP in this year's assembly polls will do better than that of its 2014 performance, going from a seat share of 47 to a projected average of 64 seats -- a 17 seat gain. The projection on the vote share also shows a massive 23.4% increase from 33.3% last election to a predicted 56.7% now. While, the projection for the Congress appears to be dismissal with the Congress projected to get almost the same seat share and the vote share like the last election. The INLD split seems to have cost the party which is looking a projected 18 seat fall from it's 19 seat tally of 2014 to 1 seat now and a fall in vote share too. The newly formed JJP is projected to see a 25.6% vote share which is higher than the vote share of the INLD last election.
