Haryana Legislative Election Results:
Haryana was traditionally a fighting ground for Om Prakash Chautala led Indian National Lok Dal and the Indian National Congress. However, since 2004 Lok Sabha elections, Congress has been creating a stronghold in the state. 2004 saw Congress winning 9 of the 10 seats, with 1 going to BJP. Recently concluded Lok Sabha Elections saw Congress winning 9 seats with one going to Mr. Bhjanlal (Haryana Janhit Congress). You can take a detailed look at Haryana Election Results here. It's this feeling of optimism in Congress which led them to dissolve the current 2005 state assembly and declare elections a year early in Haryana.
Assembly Results for Haryana in 2005:
The Haryana state elections have been favourable for the Congress with it winning 67 seats out of a total 90 in 2005. BJP with just 2 seats and main rivals INLD with just 9 could not even form the 2nd largest opposition, as that went to the others and independents who won 12 seats.
