2004 Indian general election in Haryana

The 2004 Indian general election in Haryana was held simultaneously with the national elections from April 20 to May 10, 2004, to elect the state's representatives to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament. Haryana comprises ten parliamentary constituencies, and the elections were characterized by a multi-party competition, primarily involving the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The INC, led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda, emerged as the dominant party, winning nine out of ten seats, reflecting a shift in voter sentiment and consolidation of anti-incumbency trends against the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The elections were marked by significant electoral mobilization and issues such as agrarian distress and socio-economic development.
