A Jat consolidation appears to have benefitted Dushyant Chautala's JJP, a breakaway of INLD, as the party is leading in a number of seats in the Jat belt.
BJP is expected to win 66 of 90 seats in Haryana, says the ‘Poll of Exit Polls’. In Maharashtra, BJP-Shiv Sena alliance is expected to bag 211 of 288 seats.
In 2014, Khattar was a surprise pick as Haryana CM but in the five years since, he has risen to become the face of the party's poll campaign in the state.
In its 'Sankalp Patra', released on Sunday, the BJP has also promised collateral-free loans up to Rs 3 lakh for Dalits, skill training for 25 lakh youth and 1,000 sports nurseries
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
The numbers will provide stability for a five year term. For a party of the Jats to be a coalition partner is a good development.
