Additionally, according to sources, the BJP, which holds 40 seats and is the only party with a majority in the 90-member Assembly, is certain that it will form the government with the help of independent MLAs. Since forming a post-election alliance with Dushyant Chautala’s JJP, the BJP has been in power.
