Rahul Gandhi emphasized the importance of these elections, framing them as vital for securing the prosperity of farmers, job opportunities for youth, and the overall safety and respect of women. Gandhi emphasized that every vote for Congress would stand as a defense of the Constitution against BJP's perceived injustices.

Simultaneously, Kharge highlighted the socio-economic challenges Haryana has faced under BJP's rule, such as unemployment and inflation. The leaders underscored the need for a Congress-led government to foster inclusive governance and social justice.
