As the counting of votes for the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections continues, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a surprising comeback after an early surge by the Congress party. In the initial rounds of counting on Tuesday, Congress quickly raced ahead of the BJP, prompting party workers to start celebrating in both Delhi and Haryana. Sweets were distributed, and fireworks were set off as the Congress appeared to be heading for a clear victory.
However, by 10 am, the situation changed drastically. The BJP, seeking a third consecutive term in Haryana, began to pull ahead, taking a lead that stunned many observers. By 11:30 am on October 8, the BJP had secured a lead in 49 seats, surpassing the majority mark of 46 seats required to form the government in the 90-member state assembly. Meanwhile, Congress was leading in 35 seats.
Supriya Shrinate’s Viral Remarks on BJP’s Chances
Amidst the ongoing vote count, a video featuring Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate has gone viral across social media platforms. In the video, which was part of a debate on News 24, Shrinate expressed total confidence that the BJP would not win more than 20 seats in Haryana. She said, “If BJP is able to go past 20 seats, I am ready to change my name. 15-20 is what the BJP will get, maybe lesser but not more.”
Her bold statement, made before the final election results, gained significant attention as BJP surpassed her prediction by a considerable margin. Shrinate also made similar remarks on ABP News, where she said, “If BJP could muster even 20 seats, I would consider it a good performance.”
These statements have now become a major talking point, especially as the BJP’s current tally far exceeds the number Shrinate had predicted. The video continues to be widely shared, with many commenting on the dramatic turnaround in the election.

Congress' Early Optimism Amid Exit Polls
Exit polls conducted after voting concluded on October 5 had largely predicted a Congress win in Haryana. This had further fueled the confidence within Congress ranks, with Shrinate asserting that the party would perform even better than the exit polls suggested. During her appearance on News 24, she said, “We will win many more seats in Haryana than the exit polls indicate. We will also form a government in Jammu and Kashmir.”
These remarks came at a time when Congress workers were already celebrating the early lead in the vote count. Many had expected a sweeping Congress victory based on the initial trends and exit polls. However, the sudden surge by the BJP has shifted the narrative.
BJP Aims for a Third Term
The BJP is seeking to secure its third consecutive term in Haryana. Under the leadership of Manohar Lal Khattar, the party has been in power since 2014. Despite facing challenges and a significant push from Congress, the BJP has once again positioned itself as the frontrunner in the state.
With 49 seats in their favor as of the latest trends, the BJP is just three seats above the majority needed to retain power. Although the numbers are not yet finalized, the party's performance so far signals that it could secure a victory, defying early predictions and Congress' confidence.
Final Results Awaited
While the BJP currently holds a comfortable lead, the final outcome of the Haryana Assembly elections is still pending as the vote count continues. Both parties are closely monitoring the situation as the numbers are yet to consolidate.
Supriya Shrinate’s viral comments and Congress’ early celebrations have only added to the election drama, but with the BJP taking a commanding position, all eyes are now on the final results. The eventual outcome will determine whether the BJP will secure a third term or if Congress can turn the tide in the remaining rounds of counting.
