Haryana Assembly Election Results 2019: Dushyant Chautala’s Jannayak Janta Party to emerge the kingmaker

Dushyant Chautala’s Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) is poised to emerge as the kingmaker as early trends indicate the party is ahead on 11 seats.

The JJP came into existence after a split last year in the Indian National Lok Dal. Most exit polls predict that the INLD, founded by former deputy prime minister Devi Lal, will be decimated.

Haryana had on Monday recorded a voter turnout of over 68 percent, a sharp decline from 76.54 in the 2014 assembly polls.

In 2014, the BJP had won 47 seats and the Congress 15, with two Haryana Janhit Congress legislators later merging with it.
