Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, “We have to wait and see…We shouldn’t make a premature conclusion right now…At the moment, they (BJP) seem to be leading in a majority of the seats (in Haryana) which is a genuine surprise. Certainly, the whole exit poll industry must be in a deep disgrace…Honestly, let us wait for the final results…My own feeling is that the signs in Haryana are not what we were expecting and are better than what INDIA block was expecting in Jammu & Kashmir.”

Mismatch between number of rounds counted and the data on EC Website: Pawan Khera 

Congress leader Pawan Khera said, “There is a mismatch in the actual number of rounds counted and the number of rounds being shown on the television through the Election Commission data. The EC data is lagging behind, they are still showing 4th or the 5th found data while 11 rounds have been counted. Our General Secretary Communications has tweeted to the Election Commission asking – are trying to put pressure on the local administration by delaying the display and uploading of data. In J&K you are getting live data with every round counted but in Haryana, it is not so.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Counting has started for 90 assembly seats of Haryana. First of all, the counting of ballot papers is going on. Meanwhile, acting CM Nayab Saini offered prayers at Shri Dakshinmukhi Hanuman Temple at Brahmasarovar in Kurukshetra.  In the elections held on October 5, 67.90% of voting has taken place in the state, which is 0.03% less than the last election.

In the exit polls of 13 agencies, the Congress government is seen forming in Haryana. Congress can get 50 to 55 seats. But the trend in Haryana is going in favor of BJP. In fact, in the 5 assembly elections held in Haryana from 2000 to 2019, it happened twice that the voting percentage fell or there was a marginal increase of 1%. Both times a hung assembly situation was created in the state and the party in power at that time benefited from it.

Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections 

On the other hand if we talk about Jammu and Kashmir, Counting for 90 assembly also of Jammu and Kashmir also started at 8 am. It will be clear in a short while who will form the government in Jammu and Kashmir after 10 years. Counting on all seats will be completed by evening. 46 seats are required for majority.

63.88% voting took place in 3 phases from 18 September to 1 October in Jammu and Kashmir. In the last elections held 10 years ago i.e. in 2014, 65% voting took place, that is, this time 1.12% less voting took place. Apart from National Conference, Congress, BJP and PDP, small parties are in the contest.

In the exit polls released on October 5, 5 survey agencies had given majority to the National Conference and Congress government. At the same time, 5 exit polls have predicted a hung assembly. That means no party will get absolute majority. In such a situation, small parties and independent MLAs will be the kingmakers.
