Haryana Election 2024: Voting for 90 seats of Haryana Assembly has been completed, and now all eyes are on the results of the exit polls. According to the exit polls, Congress is expected to get a majority in Haryana. If these figures prove to be correct, then Congress can once again return to power in Haryana.

Congress leads in exit polls

There are a total of 90 seats in the Haryana Legislative Assembly and the majority figure is 46. According to most exit poll figures, Congress can win 44 to 61 seats, which is enough to give it a clear majority. However, it is important to note that the results of exit polls are often not correct, and the final results will come out only after the actual results of the voting.

Discussion of the post of Chief Minister

With the possible victory of Congress, the question has started arising as to who will be the next Chief Minister of Haryana. Many senior party leaders have expressed their desire to become the Chief Minister, prominent names among them are former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja, and Randeep Surjewala.

Statement of Bhupinder Singh Hooda

Former Haryana Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda, in his statement after the exit polls, said that the party high command will select the Chief Minister. He said, "We are expecting a huge victory of the Congress. The law and order situation in Haryana has deteriorated and corruption has increased during the tenure of the BJP government. The situation in the field of sports has also been worrying."

When he was questioned on the claim of Kumari Selja and Randeep Surjewala for the post of Chief Minister, Hooda said, "This is a democracy, everyone has the right to aspire. But the Chief Minister will be selected by the MLA and the party high command."

Internal discord and party unity

Hooda also clarified that there is no discord of any kind within the Congress. He said that the presence of many contenders in the party is a sign of the strength of the party and this will not create any problem. Ambitions of various leaders in the party are natural, but the final decision will be taken by the party high command.

Kumari Selja and Surjewala's claim

Senior Congress leaders Kumari Selja and Randeep Surjewala have also expressed their interest in the post of Chief Minister. However, no final decision has been taken on this subject and something will be decided only after the discussion of Congress MLAs and the high command.

Way forward for Congress

During an election rally on September 27, Bhupinder Singh Hooda predicted a "massive mandate" for the Congress. According to him, the people of Haryana are dissatisfied with the BJP government, and the Congress is likely to get huge public support in this election. He expressed confidence that the Congress will get a majority and a stable and development-oriented government will be formed in the state.

Conclusion

Now all eyes are on the election results. If the Congress comes to power, many names may emerge within the party for the post of Chief Minister. It will be interesting to see who the high command chooses for this important post. Keeping in mind the aspirations of the people and the unity of the party, Congress will have to decide the direction of its next step.
