Haryana Elections 2019

The Congress believes it has a good chance to net a few seats in Haryana, while the BJP reckons that the leads it secured in 2014 and 2019 would be difficult to bridge.

If you thought that after the humiliation of 2019, Congress would push to win the next rounds, you are wrong. They failed in Haryana, they did badly in Maharashtra, they were blown away in Assam.

Champion wrestler and BJP leader Babita Phogat, who unsuccessfully contested the 2019 Haryana Assembly election, has resigned from the state's sports department, triggering speculation she could contest in a bypoll next month

Two years ago the BJP's hold on the country was near-absolute. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party has seen its hold on state-level politics weaken alarmingly

After the Congress-JMM-RJD alliance scored a big win in the Jharkhand Assembly election on Monday, former Union Minister P Chidambaram took a swipe at the BJP.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday appointed former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) in the state.

Manohar Lal Khattar, who was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Haryana for the second consecutive term three days ago, called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Wednesday.

Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid said today the outcome of Haryana and Maharashtra elections indicates that his party's slide in the country has stopped and it can now look forward to reversing the tide.

Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) chief Dushyant Chautala, whose months-old party produced a surprising result in the Haryana Assembly election last week, misspoke a word while taking oath as the deputy chief minister of the state.

Jannayak Janta Party leader Dushyant Chautala's father Ajay Chautala, who was in Tihar jail after his conviction in a teachers recruitment scam, was released from jail this morning on a two-week parole. Dushyant Chautala will take oath today as the Deputy Chief Minister in the Haryana government led by ML Khattar.

Manohar Lal Khattar took oath as Haryana Chief Minister today at 2:15pm for his second term as BJP staked claim to form the government in the state. The BJP, which secured 40 seats, formed the government with the support of 10 MLAs of the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) and 7 Independent MLAs. The majority mark in the 90-member Haryana assembly is 46.

Haryana Deputy Chief Minister-designate Dushyant Chautala is like a child and his support to the BJP government is unconditional, newly elected Independent legislator Ranjit Singh Chautala said on Saturday.

The BJP can console itself with the thought that after a full five-year term, people have reposed their faith in the party and it has retained power. This is, however, only a part of the story.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has made it clear the BJP will not rely on support from controversial MLA Gopal Kanda to form the new Haryana government

Tej Bahadur Yadav, who was sacked from the BSF in 2017, has resigned from the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) following the party's tie-up with the BJP to form the new Haryana government
