In a dramatic turn of events, the Congress party has expressed strong reservations over the unexpected outcome of the Haryana assembly elections, calling the results 'counter-intuitive' and 'against ground reality.' The party plans to meet with the Election Commission to address alleged irregularities in the vote-counting process.

The delegation, consisting of top party leaders including former Chief Ministers Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Ashok Gehlot, aims to present serious complaints about the counting process in several districts. Amidst the tensions, Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera have openly voiced their disbelief at the election results.

The Election Commission, meanwhile, has dismissed the Congress's allegations, asserting that there is no evidence of procedural mishaps. As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) gears up for its third consecutive term, Congress continues to challenge the validity of the electoral process, emphasizing a significant disconnect between the results and public expectation.
