Moreover, the voting, which began at 7 AM, will conclude at 6 PM. The counting of votes is scheduled for October 8.

Haryana CM asserts BJP's win

Meanwhile, as Haryana went to vote, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday asserted over the BJP's confirmed win in the state while accusing the Congress of deceiving the electorate.

"The wind is in the BJP's favor, the BJP government is being formed for the third time in Haryana, and lotus will bloom in Ladwa with a big margin... No one can stop Congress from dreaming; they also dreamed in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, but they should look at their work and see how they have become an obstacle in development," the CM said.

"The people of the state are understanding the way they have insulted Dalits," he added.
