Congress analyzing ‘unexpected’ results: Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Wednesday (October 9, 2024) that the party was analyzing the “unexpected” results in Haryana and would apprise the Election Commission about complaints received from various constituencies of the State.

In his first reaction after the shock defeat in Haryana, the former Congress president also thanked Haryana, Jammu, and Kashmir for their support.

“My heartfelt thanks to the people of Jammu and Kashmir — INDIA’s victory in the state is a victory of the Constitution, a victory of democratic self-respect,” he said.

The BJP on Tuesday clinched a stunning hat-trick win in Haryana, overcoming anti-incumbency and dashing Congress’ hopes of a comeback, while the National Conference-Congress combine pulled off a spectacular victory in maiden elections in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.

Mr. Gandhi said the Congress was looking into the results of the Haryana Assembly polls.
