1999 Indian general election in Haryana

The 1999 Indian general election in Haryana was held as part of the nationwide elections to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament. Conducted in two phases on April 20 and April 26, the elections were significant in determining the political landscape of the state, which had a total of 10 parliamentary constituencies. The incumbent Indian National Congress (INC), led by Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), faced a resurgent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which campaigned on a platform of economic development and governance. Ultimately, the BJP-led coalition emerged victorious, securing a majority of seats and signifying a shift in the state's political dynamics, amidst a backdrop of rising regionalism and caste-based politics.
