Taking a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the Haryana assembly elections, CPI leader D Raja said that the people of Haryana are angry with the BJP and that they have betrayed farmers and wrestlers.
"I do not know what is the basis of their (BJP) confidence. According to me, the round reality is in tune with the exit polls. In Haryana, everyone knows that there is anger against BJP...The farmers are agitated and have been asking for a minimum support price (MSP) for their produce. This government has betrayed whatever it had promised to the farmers. They are angry with PM Modi and their policies..." Hitting out at the BJP over the issue of wrestlers' protest, the CPI leader said, "In the same way, the government did not show any sensitivity over the issues raised by the wrestlers. They are the pride of the country and are bringing laurels to the country. They held protests over sexual harassment and the government did not listen to them. Everybody knows what happened to Vinesh Phogat. Women and young people are angry with the BJP's policies in Haryana. Taking everything into consideration, I think that people's verdict will go against the BJP. Notably, the exit polls predicted a clean sweep for the Congress in Haryana, with some polls predicting the party will win more than 50 of the 90 seats in the assembly. The TV-Today C voter projection said that the party may win 50-58 seats in the state, while it said that the BJP can win 20-28 seats. The other can win 10-16 seats. The majority mark to form the government in the 90-member assembly is 46. According to the Republic TV-Matrize poll, the Congress Party may get 55-62 seats out of 90, while the BJP is poised to win18-24 seats. People Pulse poll survey said that the Congress may get 44-54 seats, BJP 15-29 and others may win up to 4-9 seats. Dainik Bhaskar in its poll survey suggested that the Congress will get 44-54 seats, BJP 15-29 and others may get 4-9. As per the Dhruv Research polls survey, the Congress may get 50-64 seats, and BJP may win up to 22-32 seats in the state. The single-phase polling for 90 Assembly Constituencies in Haryana concluded peacefully on Saturday across more than 20,000 polling stations and recorded a final voter turnout of 65.65 per cent. According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), single-phase polling for General Elections to the Legislative Assembly of Haryana recorded an approximate voter turnout of 65.65 per cent as of 11:45 pm, which beats the Lok Sabha 2024 voter turnout of 64.8 per cent in the state.
