Haryana election results: Congress says ‘early trends don’t matter’ in neck and neck battle with BJP

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Pawan Khera expressed optimism about these initial numbers, stating that the party is confident of forming the government with a full majority in both regions.

Khera stated, “This is just initial counting numbers, wait and watch…we are confident that we will get to eat laddus and jalebis all day today, we are going to send jalebis to Prime Minister Modi as well. We are confident that we are going to form the government with a majority in Jammu-Kashmir and Haryana.”

Celebrations were seen at the Congress office, where supporters danced to dhol-nagada beats. The enthusiasm among party workers is attributed to Rahul Gandhi’s initiatives like Bharat Jodo Yatra and Nyay Yatra. Congress worker Jagdish Sharma noted that these initiatives focus on farmers, wome and laborers and advocate for inclusivity.

Sharma said, “I think the entire country is congratulating us. Even people from BJP are congratulating us. This is the triumph of victory and defeat of lies. People are liking Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra and Nyay Yatra, and his speaking up for farmers, women and labourers and pushing every caste and religion forward. We are winning Haryana and JK. People are liking Rahul Gandhi. The time is up for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.”

In Jammu, TS Tony, a Congress candidate from Bahu Assembly seat, commented on the Congress-NC alliance’s prospects.

“Congress-NC alliance is going to form the government with 2/3 majority. Earlier people trusted only statements. Now, all the lies are exposed…The people know everything now. This was the city of temples. BJP made it the city of liquors. They say that it is for revenue generation,” Khera said.

“The people are frustrated with the liquor and land mafia…They are exposed now. The public doesn’t trust them anymore.. BJP is murdering the democracy,” he added further.

The appointment of 5 MLAs had to be done by the elected government. Even the President does not have this power of direct appointment. How can the LG have this arbitrary power?” he said.
