Haryana: The ruling BJP and the Congress are locked in a tough contest with no one looking set to attain a majority on its own in the 90-member assembly.
Both the parties were leading on 26 seats each in Haryana when this report was published.
A party needs to win at least 46 seats to win the state assembly polls.
In addition to State unit president Barala is unlikely to win his own constituency. As per the latest trends, Barala is trailing by 49,634 votes over Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) candidate Devinder Singh Babli from the Tohana seat.
As the counting was in progress, Barala had reportedly left the counting centre in between sensing he is losing from Tohana.
The BJP, which had set a target of winning 75 seats ahead of the polls, is leading in 35 seats, while the Congress also is ahead in 35 constituencies.
The fledgling Jannayak Janta Party, which fought its maiden assembly polls, is ahead in 10 seats.
