In a remarkable display of political dominance, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured victory in all nine assembly segments within the Karnal Lok Sabha constituency, highlighting former Chief Minister ML Khattar's enduring influence in the region even after his transition to Union Minister.

The constituency, which spans across Karnal and Panipat districts, witnessed BJP candidates emerging victorious with substantial margins. Notable wins include Mahipal Dhanda's impressive victory in Panipat Rural with a margin of 50,212 votes, and Pramod Vij's commanding lead of 35,672 votes in Panipat City.

In Karnal, considered Khattar's home turf, Jagmohan Anand secured a convincing win with a margin of 33,652 votes. The party's success extended to reserved constituencies as well, with Krishan Lal Panwar winning the Israna seat by 13,895 votes.

The sweep represents a significant improvement from the 2019 elections when the BJP had won five of the nine segments. Other victorious candidates include Harvinder Kalyan from Gharaunda, Ram Kumar Kashyap from Indri, and Yoginder Singh Rana from Assandh, each securing their seats with comfortable margins.

This comprehensive victory underscores the BJP's strengthened position in the region and validates the party's strategic decisions under Khattar's leadership, even as he serves in the central government.
