CHANDIGARH: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clinched a significant victory, marking their third consecutive win, further solidifying their presence in Haryana.
Several prominent leaders emerged as winners and losers, reflecting both expected and surprising outcomes.
Among the winners for the BJP, **Nayab Singh** secured his seat in Ladwa, while **Anil Vij** narrowly retained his Ambala Cantt seat after a tough battle.
Shruti Choudhary (Tosham) and **Ram Kumar Gautam** (Safidon) also represented key BJP victories.
Additionally, independent candidates like **Savitri Jindal** in Hisar and **Devender Kadyan** in Ganaur further stood out, having parted ways with the BJP before running as independents.
On the Congress front, **Bhupinder Singh Hooda** maintained his dominance in Garhi Sampla-Kiloi, and **Chander Mohan** captured Panchkula, marking vital wins for the party.
Vinesh Phogat, contesting from Julana, successfully navigated a tight race to emerge victorious. However, the Congress also had its share of setbacks.
The losers’ list included some notable names. **Dushyant Chautala**, deputy chief minister and leader of the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP), suffered a substantial defeat in Uchana Kalan, trailing by over 21,000 votes.
His loss symbolized the downfall of JJP, which struggled to maintain its earlier influence.
Similarly, **Abhay Chautala** of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) also faced defeat, signaling challenges for the once-powerful Chautala family.
Overall, while the BJP celebrated yet another electoral triumph, Congress managed to regain some strongholds, and the JJP and INLD were left grappling with significant losses, suggesting a shifting political landscape in Haryana.
