Haryana Election Result: After the defeat in the Haryana assembly elections, the brainstorming continues in the Congress. The top leaders of the party held an important meeting in Delhi on Thursday, in which Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and KC Venugopal attended. Haryana Congress in-charge Deepak Bavariya participated online in this meeting, but the absence of senior Congress leaders Bhupendra Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja and Randeep Surjewala has raised many questions.Review of defeat and discussion on EVMIn the meeting, Rahul Gandhi emphasized that the big reason behind the defeat of the Congress could be the leaders putting their personal interests above the party. He expressed displeasure over the fact that the leaders did not work unitedly. Along with this, complaints related to EVMs in the electoral process were also discussed. The party has sought a list of 20 seats from Bhupendra Singh Hooda and Udaybhan, where the Congress has alleged EVM tampering.Formation of Fact-Finding CommitteeThe Congress leadership has decided to form a fact-finding committee to investigate the reasons for the defeat in Haryana. Ajay Maken and Ashok Gehlot have been entrusted with the responsibility of this committee, which will prepare its report by talking to all the party candidates separately. This committee will inform the party about the real reasons for the defeat after a detailed investigation.Internal problems of the partyAfter the defeat, discontent has been coming to the fore within the Haryana Congress. Congress OBC Morcha President Ajay Yadav questioned the party's election strategy and said that the Congress did not contest the elections properly. He also alleged that the party did not give respect to Dalits and backward classes, due to which this defeat has happened.Allegations on Hooda familyShamsher Singh Gogi, who was the candidate from Assandh seat of Congress, has directly blamed Bhupendra Singh Hooda and Deepender Hooda for his defeat. He alleged that the Hooda family did not handle the internal affairs of the party properly, due to which the Congress had to face defeat. At the same time, the silence of Bhupendra Hooda and Deepender Hooda since the defeat has also raised many questions among the party workers.Preparations for the new governmentOn the other hand, the process of formation of a new government in Haryana is progressing rapidly. After meeting senior BJP leaders, CM candidate Naib Singh Saini is now attending important meetings in Chandigarh. It is likely that after Dussehra, Naib Saini will take oath as the Chief Minister of Haryana for the second time. At present, PM Narendra Modi is on a foreign tour, and this swearing-in ceremony will be held only after his return.ConclusionThe defeat of the Congress in the Haryana assembly elections has exposed the deep contradictions within the party. While the party leadership is analyzing the reasons for the defeat, the internal differences of the organization are also coming out in the open. Now it will be important to see how the Congress deals with these challenges and prepares its strategy for the upcoming elections. On the other hand, preparations for the formation of a new government in Haryana are also gaining momentum, which is likely to bring a big change in the political scenario.
