BJP set for third term in Haryana, best-ever show in J&K

Defying all the exit poll results, the ruling BJP in Haryana poised to return for a record third term.Voter turnout for the 90-seat Haryana assembly stood at 67.90 per cent. Exit polls have predicted a Congress victory, but the BJP remains confident of defying these projections. Chief minister Nayab Singh Saini has dismissed the exit poll results, insisting that his party will return to power with a full majority. In Haryana,BJP secured 48 seats while Congress couldl managed only 37 seats.INLD 2, Others 3 but JJP and AAP drew blank.
Haryana assembly elections turned out largely a bipolar contest between the BJP and Congress. Parties like the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), and Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) have also thrown their hats in the ring. Leaders of these regional parties, such as JJP’s Dushyant Chautala and INLD’s Abhay Chautala, have each claimed their alliances are poised to play kingmaker if the election yields a hung assembly. But they could not won the voters' confidence. 
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal, commenting on his party's poor performance in Haryana Assembly elections, said on Tuesday that the "biggest lesson" from this poll outcome is that one should never be "overconfident" in elections.The AAP had held pre-poll discussions with Congress to form an alliance in the state. However, the talks failed over disagreements on seat sharing. The party, which is in power in Delhi and Punjab, contested 89 seats alone and managed to garner just 1.53 percent of the total votes polled. Congress' celebratory mood at AICC headquarters turned sombre by noon as Haryana election trends shifted towards a shock defeat.
