In a major setback for the Bhartiya Janta Party, the India TV-CNX exit poll on Saturday predicted that the BJP may fail to maintain its 2019 poll decision in Haryana. The India TV-CNX exit poll results, which come mere three days ahead of the counting of votes on June 4, said that as against the total ten seats swept by the BJP in Haryana (in 2019), the party during the Lok Sabha Polls 2024 is likely to win over 6–8 seats. It also further mentioned that Congress can win over 2-4 seats in the state.

What Happened in 2019 and 2014
Significantly, the BJP, which holds strong prominence among all ten seats in the state, is again eyeing a clean sweep for the second time in a row. In the 2019 Lok Sabha Election, the party successfully secured a thumping victory on all ten seats in the state and is now again in 2024 vying to ensure the same.
Meanwhile, it is pertinent to note that compared to 2014, it was a one-way battle for BJP in Haryana, as the party managed to sweep all the constituencies under its umbrella. In 2014, the BJP had secured seven seats, while the remaining three were represented by INLD (2 seats) and Indian National Congress (1 seat).
