In 2014, exit polls in Haryana were largely on point, successfully predicting the BJP’s victory, which ended a decade of Congress rule. However, by 2019, these predictions missed the mark. Despite many pollsters forecasting a landslide for the BJP, some even predicting over 70 seats, the reality was quite different as the election ended in a hung assembly, with no party securing a clear majority, proving the exit polls to be significantly off in their projections.

Several BJP candidates are making headlines for their political significance and potential impact.

• Nayab Singh Saini (Ladwa): Nayab Singh Saini is a prominent figure contesting from the Ladwa constituency. He previously represented Karnal in the state legislative assembly after ML Khattar vacated the seat to pursue a role in national politics. In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the BJP secured over 47% of the vote in this assembly segment, establishing it as a relatively secure seat for the incumbent and projected Chief Minister. Currently, this seat is held by the Congress.
• Anil Vij (Ambala Cantt): Anil Vij stands out as one of the senior leaders within the Haryana BJP. He has a proven track record, winning the Ambala Cantt constituency six times. Vij’s aspiration for the Chief Minister's position has garnered significant attention and reflects the internal dynamics and pressures within the saffron party.
• Shruti Choudhary (Tosham): In the Tosham constituency, Shruti Choudhary is making waves as a candidate. She is the granddaughter of former Chief Minister Bansi Lal and has transitioned from Congress to BJP, aligning herself with the party following her mother Kiran Choudhary's switch over disagreements with the Hoodas. In the previous election, Kiran Choudhary won the seat with an impressive 60% of the votes, setting a strong precedent for her daughter's campaign.
