1996 Haryana Legislative Assembly election
The 1996 Haryana Legislative Assembly election was held on May 26, 1996, to elect members to the 90 constituencies of the Haryana Legislative Assembly. This election was significant as it marked a crucial political landscape in the state, following the previous elections in 1991 and 1996. The Indian National Congress (INC) emerged as the dominant party, securing a majority under the leadership of Bhupinder Singh Hooda. The election results reflected a shift in voter sentiment, with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Haryana Janata Party (HJP) also gaining representation. Voter turnout was reported at approximately 70%, indicative of robust public engagement in the democratic process. The 1996 election laid the groundwork for subsequent political dynamics in Haryana.
