Jaipur : Congress has lost in Haryana Assembly elections due to 3 reasons. The first reason is the extreme enthusiasm among the chief ministerial contenders from the Congress party and one family in particular. The second reason is their pride. The third and biggest reason is not to contest elections along with other parties of the India alliance. This statement was given by Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) supremo and MP Hanuman Beniwal through a post on X late Tuesday night.
‘Farmers, Dalits and youth were disappointed’
Tagging 4 senior Congress leaders, Beniwal further wrote, ‘When all the political parties associated with the India Alliance contested the Lok Sabha elections together, the NDA formed its government at the center with a gasp. But, Congress did not show interest in alliance with the parties in Haryana Assembly elections and this result was seen today. Whereas the farmers, soldiers and Dalits of Haryana were against the policies and governance of BJP. But due to the single opinion of the Congress Party and not fighting the elections together, the farmers, Dalits and youth of Haryana were again disappointed. However, in democracy the decision of the public is paramount. But still the high command of the Congress Party now needs to think seriously.
In Haryana, due to the over-enthusiasm and arrogance of the chief ministerial aspirants from the Congress party, especially one family, and not contesting the elections in alliance with other parties of the India alliance, today the Congress party was deprived of coming to power there because in the Lok Sabha elections, when India All those associated with the alliance…

‘No one should be overconfident’
Earlier, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, while addressing the councilors, had said, ‘The biggest lesson from the Haryana election results is that no one should be overconfident in the elections. Should be. No election should be taken lightly. Every election and every seat is difficult. AAP had failed to form an alliance with Congress due to differences over seat sharing in Haryana.
‘Haryana election results have no impact on Maharashtra’
At the same time, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi had said, ‘The results of Haryana elections will not have any impact in Maharashtra, where elections are likely to be held next month. However, he stressed that the Congress should reconsider its election strategy as the Congress performed below expectations in a direct fight against the BJP in Haryana. Congress is in talks with Shiv Sena (UBT) and Sharad Pawar-led NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) for seat sharing in Maharashtra.
‘Congress reminded its allies about the dharma of alliance’
After the defeat in the Haryana Assembly elections, the Congress on Tuesday reminded its allies in Maharashtra of the coalition dharma and said that it had emerged as the largest party in the state in the Lok Sabha elections. Ramesh said, ‘I want to remind that Congress was at first place in Maharashtra in the Lok Sabha elections. There is a religion of alliance, those who talk among themselves, they speak to each other and not through the media. It is our duty to strengthen the alliance in Maharashtra and we will not say anything about our partner parties.
From former Deputy CM to Speaker, these leaders lost the elections
Let us tell you that Haryana unit chief of Congress Uday Bhan, Assembly Speaker Gyan Chand Gupta and former Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala are among the prominent leaders who lost their seats in the Haryana Assembly elections. Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader Abhay Singh Chautala and BJP’s Bhavya Bishnoi are also among the losers. Other prominent losers include former Haryana BJP chief and BJP candidate from Badli OP Dhankhar, former Haryana Finance Minister and BJP candidate Captain Abhimanyu, INLD’s Digvijay Chautala and independent candidate Ranjit Chautala. Apart from this, eight out of 10 ministers of Naib Singh Saini government also lost the elections. These include Aseem Goyal, Subhash Sudha and Kanwar Pal. On the other hand, ignoring the anti-incumbency wave, BJP is ready to form the government for the third consecutive time.
