Haryana Exit Polls 2024: voting for the Haryana Assembly elections now complete, the release of exit polls has added excitement to the state’s political scenario. Let’s take a look at which party is likely to come out on top, as indicated by the exit polls.
Congress Set for a Comeback After 10 Years
Haryana Exit Polls 2024: According to exit polls, Congress is poised to return to power with a full majority after a 10-year gap. The big question now is, if Congress wins, who will be chosen as the next Chief Minister? Here are the potential candidates who might take the top position in the state.
Bhupinder Hooda Leads the Race
Bhupinder Hooda is seen as the front-runner in this race. Haryana is a stronghold of the Jat community, and Hooda has a significant influence in these regions. He actively campaigned for the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where Congress won five out of ten seats in the state.
Kumari Selja as a Strong Contender
Kumari Selja is another prominent figure in the running. She holds sway over Dalit voters and could steer the party in a new direction. Known for her close association with the Gandhi family, Selja is currently a Member of Parliament from Sirsa. She could also emerge as a possible choice for the Chief Minister’s post.
Randeep Surjewala’s Experience
Randeep Surjewala, who has organizational expertise, is another contender seeking the chance to prove his leadership. A Rajya Sabha MP and General Secretary of Congress, Surjewala could also be chosen as the next Chief Minister of Haryana.
Deepender Hooda – The Young Face
Dipendra Hooda’s name is also gaining traction. Being younger, he could be seen as a fresh face for leadership, especially considering his father Bhupinder Hooda’s advancing age. However, accusations of nepotism and the challenges of governing could pose hurdles for him.
Uday Bhan’s Candidacy
Another name making rounds is Uday Bhan, the President of Haryana Congress. If the party decides to project a Dalit leader, Bhan could be in the race for the Chief Ministership.
Slim Chances for BJP to Retain Power
This time, the chances for BJP to retain power in Haryana appear very slim, as per the exit polls. However, these are just predictions, and the real outcome will only be known when results are declared on October 8, revealing who the people of Haryana have chosen to lead the state.
