Haryana assembly elections: In season 3, BJP does better than 2014 show

BJP replaced its long-time Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar with Nayab Singh Saini, an OBC leader, ahead of the Haryana assembly elections. This move led to a significant consolidation of non-Jat votes, resulting in BJP’s highest seat tally and vote share of 39.9%. Congress’s internal divisions and BJP’s strategic campaigning aided this historic third consecutive win.
