"In Haryana Congress will definitely win, the politics across the country will be affected. With this win, there will be a message sent across the country," Deepinder Hooda said.

The BJP won the Haryana Assembly elections in both 2014 and 2019 and is now eyeing for a hat-trick in the 2024 Assembly elections. The grand old party hopes to make a comeback after being in the opposition for 10 years in the state.
