Congress has called the result unexpected
Let us tell you that Congress has described the Haryana election results as unexpected. Congress has also lodged its complaints regarding this before the elections. Some Congress leaders have also alleged rigging in the elections. In Haryana, Congress has got 37 seats while BJP is going to form the government for the third consecutive time by winning 48 seats.
Congress lost due to rebels and factionalism
According to experts, Congress failed to make a comeback in Haryana after a decade due to internal strife, excessive dependence on sitting MLAs and rebels. By winning 48 seats, BJP dashed the hopes of Congress’s comeback and also proved many exit polls wrong, which had predicted an easy victory of Congress in Haryana.
Senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Tuesday said that the election results are contrary to the atmosphere in the state. The Congress was buoyant after snatching five seats from the ruling BJP in this year’s Lok Sabha elections and ran its election campaign around various issues including unemployment, farmers’ plight and the Agneepath scheme. But it failed to fight a united battle and its factionalism was exploited by the ruling BJP throughout its campaign. During the elections, BJP kept targeting Congress by creating a narrative of conflict between Hooda and the party’s prominent Dalit leader in Haryana, Kumari Selja.
