Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar of the BJP would most likely get a majority mandate in Haryana, but it may not get as many seats as it was reported. However The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) could be the biggest loser.
The BJP won the Jind bypoll this year, taking its strength to 48 in the 90-member House.
Prominent leaders in Haryana whose fate will be known on Thursday include Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, former Congress CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, JJP leader Dushyant Chautala and INLD's Abhay Singh Chautala.
However Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala is trailing in Kaithal.
Led by Khattar, the BJP may not come anywhere near the set target of winning 75 seats in the state, where the Congress is making a very strong comeback.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
