Haryana Election Result: The results of the Haryana assembly elections proved to be a big setback for the Congress party. After the election results, questions have been raised on the strategy and leadership of the Congress, especially for Rahul Gandhi, this defeat has become a significant challenge. Congress had hoped that it would be in a good position in these elections, but the results proved to be the opposite. Rahul Gandhi's silence also raised many questions, because after the election results, he neither came out nor said anything on social media.

However, about 24 hours after the results, Rahul Gandhi broke his silence on the social media platform X and called the results of Haryana "unexpected". He said that he would continue the struggle for rights, social and economic justice, and truth. Rahul Gandhi said about the results that he is engaged in analyzing the electoral process and will raise the complaints received from many assembly constituencies before the Election Commission. He says that attention should also be paid to the misuse of the electoral system.

Rahul Gandhi's first reaction

Rahul Gandhi first mentioned the results of Jammu and Kashmir in his social media post. He wrote, "Heartfelt thanks to the people of Jammu and Kashmir - INDIA's victory in the state is a victory of the Constitution and democratic self-respect." After this, commenting on the results of Haryana, he said that his party is analyzing the unexpected results. Rahul Gandhi also mentioned the complaints that have come from various assembly constituencies and said that he will put these issues before the Election Commission.

He said, "We are analyzing the unexpected results of Haryana. We will inform the Election Commission about the complaints coming from many assembly constituencies. Heartfelt thanks to all the people of Haryana for their support and our Babbar Sher workers for their tireless hard work. We will continue this struggle for rights, social and economic justice, truth, we will keep raising your voice."

Factionalism and irregularities in seat sharing became the reason for defeat

Factionalism within the party and irregularities in seat sharing are being seen as the main reasons behind the defeat of Congress in Haryana elections. Before the elections, it seemed that Congress was in a strong position and there was a possibility of winning. But the results shattered all hopes. Congress had to face defeat due to errors in the party's caste factor calculations.

Results: BJP 48, Congress 37 seats

In the election results, BJP retained power by winning 48 seats and is set to form the government for the third consecutive time. Congress had to be content with 37 seats. Apart from this, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) won two seats, while independent candidates got three seats. Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) did not get any success. Interestingly, the difference in vote percentage between BJP and Congress was very less. BJP got 39.94% votes, while Congress got 39.09% votes.

Conclusion

The results of Haryana assembly elections have posed a serious challenge to Congress. Rahul Gandhi's silence and then his post showed that the party is still engaged in understanding and analyzing the reasons for the defeat. The Haryana defeat is a big lesson for the Congress, and it will be necessary to consider the future strategy so that the party can correct its shortcomings and return in a stronger position in the future.
