Haryana’s loss of survey put the congress in a difficult situation. Its India Bloc partners have their knives, calling on the party to introspect and rethink its electoral strategy.
In a shock defeat, the congress, which was predicted by the exit polls to win Haryana, managed to obtain only 37 of the 90 seats of the Assembly with a share of 39.09%. The Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party became a winner with 48 seats and a 39.94%voting share.
The dull performance of the congress in Jammu-et-Cachemire rubbed the salt in his injury by Haryana. The Grand Old Party, who fought the assembly elections during a link with the National Conference (NC), won only six of the 32 seats she disputed. The congress will come to power in the territory of the Union because of its NC ally, which won 42 of the 51 seats on which it presented candidates.
Let’s take a closer look.
India allies target congress
The congress described the results of the elections of the Haryana Assembly as “surprising, against popular feeling and cannot be accepted” Tuesday, October 8.
On Wednesday, the deputy for the Rahul Gandhi congress said that the party analyzes the results of the Haryana and will inform the electoral commission of its complaints concerning the counting process.
“We analyze Haryana’s unexpected results. We will inform the electoral commission of complaints from numerous constituencies of the assembly, ”wrote the head of the congress on X.

The grouping in India increased the pressure on the congress after the unexpected debacle of the Haryana. While the results were in favor of the BJP on Tuesday, Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha, Priyanka Chaturvedi, underlined how the Congress again lost in a direct fight against the BJP despite the anti-stick to Haryana.
She said: “The Congress Party must also think about its strategy. Because wherever there is a direct fight with the BJP, the Congress party weakens. Why does that happen? He must rework the whole alliance. »»
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) Rajya Sabha, the deputy Sagarika Ghose, said that the Indian block had performed well in the Lok Sabha elections in the States where the Congress combined with the regional parties. “It is the regional parties that take the BJP head on and the defeat. Congress must go Indian Express.
The secretary general of the ICC, D Raja, asked the congress to make a “serious introspection”.
Talk to Indian Express, The deputy for the Samajwadi party, Rajeev Rai, took a pocket at the congress, saying that he should stop thinking that he is the “chief” of the Indian block.
“The Congress did not give us a seat in the elections of Haryana with (Bhupinder Singh) Hooda ji To say that our party has no position in the state … Congress comes and asks us for seats where they have no position, but do not want to share seats in the United States where they are strong. They must realize that an alliance must function on mutual respect, and this should be followed in the future, “he added.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) asked the Congress to learn a lesson in the results of the Haryana survey and “remain united” with its Maharashtra partners to “defeat” the BJP.
Responding to criticism, Congress advised its Maharashtra partners to follow “Dharma Coalition”. Congress head, Jairam Ramesh, said the allies should “talk to each other and not by the media”.
Difficult time to come for the congress
The Congress, which almost doubled its count at 99 in the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, tried to present itself as the leader of the India group.
A victory in Haryana would have helped the congress to further consolidate this notion. This would have been a major boost for the Grand Old Party who has won no state in northern India since 2018, with the exception of Himachal Pradesh in 2022.
Not just Haryana, the disappointing performance of Congress in J&K also gave a reason for the party to worry. In the Jammu region, the Grand Old Party only obtained one seat, having not set up a challenge to the BJP. About Indian ExpressCongress turned out to be the weak link “in its alliance with the NC in J&K.
The loss in Haryana and the performance lower than J&K has left the party a less negotiation power in the next elections of the Assembly of Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Last month, the chief of the prithviraj congress Chavan said in a India todayis conclave that his party should appoint the chief ministerial candidate. “I said that the biggest party should get this privilege, and I think the congress party will be the biggest party,” he said.
During the Maharashtra Lok Sabha elections, Congress became the largest party. Raised by the results, two senior leaders in the congress said Hindustan Times (HT) That the party watched the distribution of seats in the elections of the Assembly of the Maharashtra on the basis of the allies’ success rate during the Lok Sabha elections.
The Congress is part of the Maha Vikas Aghadhi (MVA) alliance in the state, which also includes Shiv Sena (UBT) (UBT) and the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar).
According to the report, there is a “fight” between the congress and the Shiv Sena (UBT) on which the party will dispute the maximum seats in the elections of the Assembly. The great old party also resisted Sena’s demand to project Thackeray as Face CM of the MVA, reported Times of India (you).
However, the former chief of the Maharashtra CM and Shiv Sena (UBT) reiterated that he will support any chief ministerial face announced by the Alliance to “save” the state. “I said it earlier too and now, I say that the Congress or the NCP (SP) should announce a candidate for the post of chief ministry … I will support any face declared by them because the Maharashtra is dear to me And it is in the interest of saving the Maharashtra. It is my determination to do anything to save the Maharashtra, “said Thackeray on Tuesday.
With the loss of Haryana, Congress no longer seems to have an advantage over its MVA allies. He will now have to be more accommodating during seats sharing talks.
The congress said, however, that the result of the Haryana survey will have no impact on the Maharashtra. The senior Congress official, Rameh Chennithala, said yesterday that the part of the Western state was not “demoralized” after the election results in Haryana. “The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will defeat the government led by Eknath Shinde and the Congress has not been demoralized with the electoral trends of the Haryana Assembly,” said Chennithala, in charge of the AICC of Maharashtra PTI.
In Jharkhand, Congress is a junior partner of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). The party should “play a secondary role” here, according to Hindus.
The Maharashtra and Jharkhand should go to the polls next month.
The election setback could also affect the prospects for convention in Delhi and Punjab.
Delhi will hold the assembly elections early next year. It remains to be seen whether the AAM AADMI (AAP) party and the Congress can meet for Delhi’s polls. Currently, the AAP has excluded the possibility of forging an alliance with a “too confident” congress.
The Congress had snubbed the AAP for a link for Haryana’s polls. Addressing the Municipal Councilors of the Party in Delhi, the Commander of the AAP, Arvind Kejriwal, said: “Let’s see what are the results in Haryana. The biggest lesson in this is that you should never be too confident during the elections. »»
Delhi’s former CM also said that “no election should be taken lightly. Each election and each seat is difficult ”.
His edifying words are considered a message to the congress in addition to his own party.
