New Delhi: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar's cabinet collapsed in the state Assembly polls as all his ministers, who were in the fray, except one are facing defeat, as reflected by the latest trends on the state polls. The nucleus of the Khattar cabinet was in thick soup with its state chief Subhash Barala trailing from his Tohana constituency to Devender Singh Babli of the newly-formed regional party -- Jannayak Janta Party. However, Khattar, has clear lead and is winning for sure from his Karnal constituency.

Similarly, Om Prakash Dhankar, who was Minister of Agriculture, Development & Panchayats, is trailing from Badli constituency to Kuldeep Vats of Congress. Krishan Lal Panwar, who was Minister of Transport, is trailing from his Israna to Balbir Singh of Congress. The fight is intense and the margin is slim. Kavita Jain, who was Minister of Art and Cultural Affairs, Women and Child Development, is trailing to Congress Surender Panwar from her Sonepat constituency. Haryana Assembly Speaker Kanwar Pal, a BJP legislator from Jagadhri, is trailing to Akram Khan of Congress.

This time, Manish Yadav was given ticket from BJP. Yadav is trailing to an independent candidate Rakesh Daultabad. In place of Vipul Goel from Faridabad, BJP had shown faith in Narender Gupta. He has a clear lead but Congress Lakhan Kumar Singla is giving a tough fight. Anil Vij is the only minister of Khattar cabinet who is leading from his Ambala Cantonment, however, an Independent candidate Chitra Sarwara is giving a tough fight. TikTok star and BJP candidate Sonali Phogat is giving a tough fight to Congress stalwart Kuldeep Bishnoi. She is, however, trailing.
