No party got majority

But after the results, the ruling party BJP won 40 seats, Congress 31 seats, JJP 10 and others 9 seats. After which BJP and JJP formed an alliance and ran a coalition government in the state under the leadership of CM Manohar Lal.
But this coalition government fell apart before the Lok Sabha elections this year. On March 12, BJP broke its alliance with JJP and with this Manohar Lal Khattar resigned from the post of Chief Minister. After which on the same day Naib Singh Saini took oath as the new Chief Minister of Haryana with the number of MLAs fixed to form the government. At present there is a BJP government in Haryana under the leadership of Naib Singh Saini. At the same time, there is a possibility of a four-way contest between BJP, Congress, JJP and AAP in the Haryana Assembly Elections 2024. On the other hand, INLD is also in the fray with full force this time.
INLD and Mayawati’s BSP party have entered the election fray in alliance. This time it remains to be seen which party the people of Haryana bring to power. It is known that BJP has suffered a major setback in the Haryana Lok Sabha elections. While BJP won all the 10 Lok Sabha seats in the state in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP had to face defeat on 5 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. These seats went to the account of Congress. Which did not get a single Lok Sabha seat in 2019.
