Counting for Haryana, J&K Assembly elections to begin 8 AM

| @indiablooms | Oct 08, 2024, at 07:15 am

The counting of the votes for the highly anticipated assembly elections in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir will be held on Tuesday. 

Massive security arrangements have been put in place for the counting process which begins at 8 am.

While 93 counting centres have been set up across 90 assembly constituencies in 22 districts of Haryana, counting will be held in 20 centres and district headquarters across Jammu and Kashmir.

The election results in Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana will come days after the exit polls predicted a comeback for the Congress in the heartland state and a hung house in the union territory.

The Congress is projected to gain a huge victory in Haryana, dealing a massive blow to the ruling BJP, which has been in power for the past decade in the state, according to a collection of exit polls.

An analysis of eight exit polls suggests the Congress will secure 55 of the 90 seats in the Haryana assembly, while the BJP is predicted to win 26 seats.

Although exit polls can sometimes be inaccurate, as seen in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, these predictions suggest a major shift in the state's political landscape.

Dainik Bhaskar predicts the Congress will win between 44 and 54 seats, a substantial increase from the 31 seats it won in the previous election. The BJP is forecasted to win 15 to 29 seats, marking a sharp decline from the 40 seats it claimed in 2019.

Meanwhile, the alliance between Congress and the National Conference (NC) is projected to win the most seats in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections, according to a compilation of various exit polls, media reports said.

With 90 seats in the assembly, the halfway mark to secure a majority is 46.

The Axis My India exit poll predicts the Congress-NC alliance will secure 35-45 seats, while the BJP is expected to win 24-34 seats.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is forecast to gain 4-6 seats, and other parties are predicted to win 12-18 seats.

An exit poll by Dainik Bhaskar forecasts similar results, with the BJP likely to secure 20-25 seats, the Congress-NC alliance 35-40 seats, PDP 4-7 seats, and other parties 12-16 seats.
