Congress In Haryana

Responding strongly to the Election Commission's reply to its complaints about "irregularities" in the Haryana Assembly elections, the Congress has accused the poll body of attacking the party and its leaders and threatened to take legal action.

The Election Commission on Tuesday criticised the Congress for making "baseless allegations... when faced with inconvenient electoral outcomes", referring to the party crying foul over the result of the 2024 Haryana Assembly election.

After the resounding defeat in the recent Haryana Assembly elections, Congress' General Secretary and Haryana in-charge, Deepak Babaria, has offered to resign, taking moral responsibility for the party's dismal showing.

The Aam Aadmi Party will support the incoming National Conference government in Jammu and Kashmir, Arvind Kejriwal's outfit has said.

Still reeling from its shock defeat in Haryana, the Congress held a high-level review meeting on Thursday to assess the possible reasons for the loss with a focus on learning lessons, given the impending elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.

Leaders of the Congress, after the party's huge setback in Haryana, met the Election Commission this evening and registered a strong complaint, alleging that Electronic Voting Machines have been hacked.

Refusing to concede that the Haryana victory, a record third consecutive one, will burnish BJP's credentials as a dominant political force in the country, AAP's Raghav Chadha pointed to ruling party's 39% vote share.

The Congress, notwithstanding its improved performance in the Lok Sabha election, is back to square one after its dismal show in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir -- at the receiving end of harsh criticism from allies.

The Election Commission on Wednesday dubbed the 'Haryana results unacceptable' statement of senior Congress leaders as "unheard in the rich democratic heritage" of the country and far from a legitimate part of free speech.

The shock results for the Congress in in Haryana -- an election it was expected to win comfortably -- is likely to cast its shadow on another important election due next month in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.

The fallout of the Congress' poor show in the Haryana election - which has included a stinging attack from allies Shiv Sena (UBT) and Trinamool - rumbles on, with the Samajwadi Party snubbing a seat-share ask for by-polls to 10 UP Assembly seats.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi - fresh from celebrating a comeback win in the Haryana election Tuesday evening - was back firing barbs at the Congress this morning, labelling it a "factory to spread hatred".

Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction spoke about the Congress after its ally in the Maharashtra election due this year slipped to a torrid defeat in Haryana, but it wasn't all attack-attack.

Shiv Sena and Trinamool Congress' reviews of the Congress's dismal show in the Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir elections are in - and they do not make for pleasant reading.

The Congress is analysing the Haryana results and will inform Election Commission about the complaints it had received over the counting process, said Rahul Gandhi this morning, in his first remarks since his party's shocking defeat in state polls.
