Why Haryana unlikely to be cakewalk for mighty BJP

  • During the last election the BJP had virtually no presence in Haryana. Now, led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, the party is aiming to re-write history by securing a successive win.
     
  • Congress remained deeply divided for the past five years but put its act together at the eleventh hour to bounce back into the reckoning.
     
  • Jannayak Janata Party, the breakaway faction of Om Prakash Chautala’s (INLD), is striving to reclaim its core vote bank — the Jats of Haryana.

  • Haryana has traditionally followed the pattern that the winner of the Lok Sabha elections also wins the assembly polls, which are usually held a few months after the former.
     
  • More than 1.83 crore voters in Haryana are expected to cast their vote Monday. There are 1,169 candidates in the fray on 90 seats.
