On Wednesday, the Congress leader wrote on X in Hindi, “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. We are analyzing the unexpected results of Haryana. We will inform the Election Commission about the complaints coming from many assembly constituencies. Heartfelt thanks to all the people of Haryana for their support and our Babbar Sher workers for their tireless hard work. We will continue this struggle for rights, social and economic justice, and truth; we will keep raising our voices.”

Congress calls results of Haryana elections “unacceptable.”

Recently, after losing the Haryana assembly elections, Congress called the results “unacceptable.” Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said, “The results are unexpected, and we would even say they are unacceptable. The kind of complaints that are continuously coming in. There are continuous complaints about our candidate from three districts, Hisar, Mahendragarh and Panipat. Complaints are continuously coming about how some batteries of machines that were 99% showed us losing and in the machines which were not touched, whose batteries were 60-70% shows our candidate winning.” He added, “If it is said in one line, this is the victory of the system and the defeat of democracy. We cannot accept this…We are collecting complaints. Our candidates have given complaints to the returning officers there and are still giving them. In the coming days, we will soon go to the Election Commission with all these complaints and register our complaint there. This kind of result was not visible anywhere on the ground. No one can believe that such an unexpected result will come in Haryana. We are all surprised.”

In J&K, The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) won 42 seats. The BJP won 29 seats. The Congress, NC’s ally, won 6 seats.
