Exit polls in Haryana have sparked debate as early projections appear to have miscalculated the election outcome. While initial polls suggested a close contest, the actual results show a surprising shift in voter sentiment. As counting progresses, it remains unclear who will emerge victorious, with both major parties in a tense race for control of the state. The discrepancy between exit polls and real-time results has raised questions about the accuracy of pre-election predictions.

Exit Polls: Did Exit Polls Fail To Predict Haryana Results? Who Will Win?

<p><strong>Haryana Assembly election 2024:</strong>&nbsp;In a dramatic turn of events, the ruling&nbsp;Bharatiya Janata Party&nbsp;(BJP) in the Indian state of Haryana is set to return for a record third term, defying exit poll predictions that favoured the Congress.

<p>Counting began at 8:00 am (local time), with early trends suggesting a Congress surge, leading some channels to term it a "Congress Tsunami." However, by 10:00 am (local time), the scenario shifted in favour of the BJP.</p>

<p>In a dire need to secure a stable future, more than 46,000 postgraduates and graduates applied for the post of sweeper in the Haryana government.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some call it a desperate bid to secure the coveted stability and security of a government job and others see this as a stark reflection of a contracting job market and rising unemployment.</p>

<p>"Even in private schools or companies, we barely get Rs 10,000 a month. Here, there's a glimmer of hope for regular employment in future. Plus, sweeping isn't a full-day job, so we can pursue other work during the day," Manish said.</p>
