The Haryana election result is a "big setback for the Congress", senior leader and one-time chief ministerial hopeful Kumari Selja told NDTV Tuesday afternoon. "...very disappointing," she said.
"I was very excited in the morning... we had expected to win up to 60 (of Haryana's 90 Assembly seats), so this result is a big setback for us. We will assess the reasons for our defeat... there can be many... and see how these can be overcome for future elections," the senior leader told NDTV.
