In a decisive electoral outcome, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party's significant victory in the Haryana Assembly elections, marking the party's third consecutive success in the state. Sharma emphasized that the results reflect the people's rejection of the Congress party. He expressed optimism about the BJP's future national prospects.
The Election Commission of India reported that the BJP secured 47 seats and leads in another, while Congress managed to win 36 seats, leading in one more. The elections for Haryana's 90 seats were conducted in a single phase on October 5, with BJP once again cementing its dominance.
Conversely, Congress expressed its dissatisfaction, labeling the results as unexpected and contrary to ground expectations. Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera voiced serious concerns over vote counting and EVM issues, and plan to approach the Election Commission with their grievances, as the party prepares to finish a distant second in the race.
