Panchkula and Charkhi Dadri districts have the fewest seats, with only two each.
According to the Election Commission, 22.70 percent of voters have cast their ballots as of 11 a.m. Jind district has had the highest rate of voting thus far. So far, 27.20 percent of people have voted here. Aside from that, Panchkula had the slowest voter turnout. So yet, only 13.46 percent of voters have cast ballots here.
The main contest
In Haryana, it is thought to be between the BJP and the Congress. The ruling BJP has fielded candidates in all seats except Sirsa. In Sirsa, the BJP endorsed Haryana Lokhit Party candidate Gopal Kanda. Congress, on the other hand, is running for office in every district except Bhiwani. In Bhiwani, Congress has supported the CPI(M), which has fielded Om Prakash.
Apart from that, other parties have attempted to make the contest exciting. Dushyant Chautala’s Jannayak Janata Party, which previously served as kingmaker, has formed an alliance with MP Chandrashekhar Azad’s Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram). At the same time, Om Prakash Chautala’s Indian National Lok Dal has formed an alliance with Mayawati’s BSP. After things did not work out with Congress, Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party is also running for all 90 seats.
