Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala lost his Uchana Kalan assembly seat in Haryana. BJP candidate Devender Chatar Bhuj Attri defeated Congress candidate Brijendra Singh by only 32 votes. According to the Election Commission of India, Chautala, a former deputy chief minister of Haryana, stood at the fifth spot.
The early trends also showed that JJP's all candidates were trailing which is a huge setback for the party which was a kingmaker in the Haryana Assembly elections 2019. The JJP had won 10 of the 90 assembly seats in the 2019 Haryana assembly polls, emerging as a key player, the BJP 40 and the Congress 31.
The Jannayak Janta Party had formed a pre-poll alliance with the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) to target Dalit voters in Haryana but to no avail if trends remained the same.
Uchana Kalan Assembly constituency in Jind district is one of the 90 Vidhan Sabha constituencies of Haryana. It is part of Hisar Lok Sabha constituency. With Dushyant Chautala as one of the key candidates in the constituency, the Uchana Kalan Assembly constituency has become one of the hot seats in the state. As per early trends, Dushyant Chautala was trailing.
