Currently, the JJP has 10 MLAs in the 90-member House, compared to 41 for the BJP. Six out of the seven independents sided with the ruling coalition.

The Indian National Lok Dal and the Haryana Lokhit Party each hold one seat, while the main opposition Congress party has thirty MLAs.
Haryana’s political history reflects the interplay of various regional and national dynamics, especially the influence of various key leaders. The state has seen a balance between development-driven governance and strong political movements. The evolution of leadership in Haryana continues to shape its future, with current CM Nayab Saini driving modernisation efforts.
