In an interview with NDTV, Shinde Sena MP Milind Deora spoke about the impact of the Haryana poll results on the upcoming Maharashtra polls. Mr. Deora spoke about the difference between the Congress and the BJP saying that despite three consecutive victories in Lok Sabha polls, the BJP was still not happy with the performance in the 2024 polls whereas the Congress had celebrated the 2024 polls results despite losing the election. He added that until Congress starts rewarding merit instead of meritocracy, none of the losses they face will be able to wake them up.
