Lotus blooms again in Haryana, BJP’s hat-trick; Congress raised questions on EVM – Read

Surprising results of assembly elections have come in Haryana. For a time it seemed that Congress would have a bumper victory but suddenly the wind of defeat changed into victory for BJP. In Haryana, which has 90 assembly seats, BJP has been successful in winning 48 seats. At the same time, Congress, which seemed very excited about the victory, had to be content with 37 seats. In this way, Congress once again remained away from reaching power in Haryana. In the elections, INLD got 2 seats and others got 3 seats.

In Haryana, big faces of both BJP and Congress have been successful in winning the elections. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saina won the Ladwa seat. Anil Vij from Ambala Cantt has also maintained his winning streak. On the other hand, Congress leader Bhupendra Hooda was successful in winning the elections from Garhi-Sampla-Kiloi. Vinesh Phogat also won from Julana. Dushyant Chautala’s JJP was wiped out in the elections. JJP formed the government with BJP in 2019 and Dushyant Chautala became the Deputy CM. This time Dushyant Chautala was in the fray from Uchana Kalan seat, but could not win. INLD led by Abhay Chautala also could not do great work and had to be content with only 2 seats.

Talking about vote percentage, BJP, which was successful in reaching power, got 39.94 percent votes while Congress got 39.09 percent votes. INLD led by Abhay Chautala is at third place with 4.14 percent votes. BSP got 1.82 percent votes, Aam Aadmi Party got 1.79 percent votes. Whereas others got 11.64 percent votes. The difference in votes between BJP and Congress has not been much.

PM said – victory of truth and development on the land of Geeta

After the victory in Haryana, while addressing the party workers at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, PM Modi said that the people of Haryana have again done wonders and have again done a lot. Today is the sixth day of Navratri. It is the day of worship of Mother Katyayani, she is blessing us all with a lotus in her hand. Today, for the third time on such a holy day, lotus has bloomed in Haryana. Truth and development have won on the land of Geeta. People of every caste and every class have voted for us.

PM fiercely attacked Congress

Attacking Congress, PM Modi said that this party deprived people of food, water and shelter for decades. These are the people who will not allow a Dalit to become the Prime Minister and President even after 100 years. This family is irritated with Dalits and backward people and has insulted them. The farmers of Haryana have given a befitting reply to Congress. Those who are with the country are with BJP. Congress people spread false propaganda about our army, but the public has foiled their conspiracies. The people of Haryana have given a message to Congress that anti-national politics will not work here. Haryana has foiled the conspiracy to divide the patriots.

What did Congress say on the results?

Congress party expressed surprise at the results of Haryana Assembly elections. The party said that even where they were winning, the defeat is shocking. Describing the election results as unexpected and against public sentiments, the party said that this mandate cannot be accepted as it is not democracy but the system that has won in the state. Party General Secretary Jairam Ramesh also alleged a conspiracy and claimed that complaints regarding EVMs have been received from 3-4 districts about which the Election Commission will be informed. Ramesh said that victory has been snatched from us. The results that have come today are not according to the ground reality.

Questions raised on EVM

At the same time, Congress leader Pawan Kheda has claimed that complaints regarding EVMs have come from Hisar, Mahendragarh and Panipat districts. It is being told that Congress candidates have lost in EVMs whose batteries were 99 percent charged. He further claimed that Congress had won in EVMs whose batteries were 60-70 percent charged.

A total of 1031 candidates were in the fray in this election, out of which 90 have won.
