Alleging vote rigging, Congress has rejected the Haryana Assembly poll outcomes, citing major concerns about the election process's transparency. Party leaders claim irregularities with electronic voting machines influenced the unexpected results.

General Secretary Jairam Ramesh described the outcome as a manipulation of democratic mechanisms, disregarding the electorate's apparent desire for change. Congress is set to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission addressing these discrepancies.

In contrast, the party saw the Jammu and Kashmir results as a triumph over perceived BJP strategies, reaffirming their commitment to restoring J-K's statehood through the NC-Congress coalition.
