Former Haryana Chief Minister and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) chief Om Prakash Chautala on Saturday said that INLD will form govt in Haryana.
"INLD will form govt in Haryana and Aditya Chautala (INLD candidate from Dabwali constituency) will win from here with a good margin," he said. Chautala also exuded confidence that INLD candidate from Dabwali constituency, Aditya Chautala will win in the Haryana assembly polls. Aditya Chautala, the grandson of former Haryana Chief Minister Devi Lal, recently jumped ship from the BJP to join INLD. INLD is contesting the Haryana assembly polls by forging an alliance with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). Over two crore people are eligible to vote in the Haryana Assembly elections today, which will decide whether the BJP will hold on to power for the third time or the Congress will return to power after a ten-year gap. 1,031 candidates are contesting in all 90 assembly constituencies, and 20,632 polling booths have been set up for voting. The results for the Haryana Assembly elections will be declared along with those of Jammu and Kashmir on October 8. This election is a high-stakes battle as the BJP is eyeing a third straight term to power in the state, the Congress party is aiming to wrest back power riding on anti-incumbency, and issues of farmer protests and wrestler protests. The key contesting parties in Haryana include the BJP, Congress, and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), as well as the pre-poll alliance between the Indian National Lok Dal-Bahujan Samaj Party (INLD-BSP) and the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP)-Azad Samaj Party (ASP). A total of 1,031 candidates are contesting in all 90 assembly constituencies, and 20,632 polling booths have been set up for voting. The results for the Haryana Assembly elections will be declared along with those of Jammu and Kashmir on October 8. In the 2019 Assembly elections, the BJP won 40 of the 90 seats, forming a coalition government with the JJP, which won 10 seats. The Congress secured 31 seats. However, JJP later broke out of the coalition. (ANI)
