Haryana Assembly Elections
Election in Haryana is scheduled to take place on October 5 to elect 90 members of the state assembly. The counting of votes will take place on October 8.
The BJP has been in power in Haryana for the last 10 years. However, the party this time faces an uphill task as a rejuvenated Congress, buoyed by an improved performance in the Lok Sabha Elections this year, poses a challenge to the party in Haryana.
