Congress, which was seeing victory in Haryana, ultimately got defeated. Congress has not been able to digest this crushing defeat till now. Overconfidence is also believed to be a reason for this result. This is the reason why the party now wants to take every step forward in Maharashtra. In the meeting held with Maharashtra Congress leaders on Monday, Rahul Gandhi also alerted that you people will have to avoid overconfidence. He said that you people should work unitedly and avoid any kind of overconfidence. The Election Commission is going to announce the Maharashtra Assembly elections today itself.
Along with this, the schedule of Jharkhand assembly elections will also be released. Congress, which had prevented BJP from getting majority on its own in the Lok Sabha elections, was hopeful that it would bring good results in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. Especially in Haryana, the party expected to come to power on its own, but the result surprised. BJP won in Haryana for the third consecutive time. Now BJP is confident of victory in Maharashtra, whereas Congress wants to proceed with caution there. Till now Congress has been confident that it will remain at number one in Maharashtra.
Let us tell you that seat sharing in Maharashtra is also a challenge for INDIA Alliance. The Uddhav Thackeray faction wants the maximum number of seats, while the Congress says that considering its performance in the Lok Sabha elections, it will contest on the maximum number of seats. However, there seems to be a consensus among all three that they will contest the elections together in any case. Let us tell you that Mahavikas Aghadi had got good success in the Lok Sabha elections. The alliance had won 31 out of 48 seats in the state. Whereas the BJP led NDA had won only 17 seats. Since then, INDIA Alliance is excited in the state, but the results of Haryana have alerted everyone from Rahul Gandhi to the entire party.

For this reason, every effort is being made to keep issues of difference at bay for the time being. CM face will not be declared. According to what has been discussed between the three parties so far, Congress can contest 110 to 115 seats. Uddhav Sena is expected to get 90 to 95 seats. Sharad Pawar’s NCP can get 80 to 85 seats.
