The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which contested the Haryana assembly elections as the ruling party, got 36.7 percent votes. BJP emerged as the largest party by winning 40 seats. Congress won 31 seats with 28.2 percent vote share, Dushyant Chautala’s Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) won 10 seats with 14.9 percent vote share, Haryana Lokhit Party won one seat with less than one percent vote share.

After the Haryana election results, BJP and JJP formed a government under the leadership of Manohar Lal Khattar with the support of independents. JJP’s Dushyant Chautala was made the Deputy CM. Just before the Lok Sabha elections, BJP made Naib Singh Saini the CM in place of Manohar Lal Khattar. BJP had also broken its alliance with JJP.

In the recent Lok Sabha elections, BJP and JJP fought separately. There are 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana. In the recent Lok Sabha elections, both BJP and Congress won five seats each. It is worth noting that in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP had done a clean sweep in the state by winning all the seats.
