With the BJP racing ahead in Haryana as per the early trends, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said the imminent defeat of Congress is a testimony to the failed leadership of Rahul Gandhi. Even Congressmen don't consider Rahul Gandhi as their leader, said Yadav as the BJP looks comfortably placed, leading in 50 of the 90 assembly seats in Haryana, counting for which is underway. "While campaigning in Haryana, I had said that Rahul Gandhi (Opposition leader in Lok Sabha) would fail for the third time. People know it well that his leadership is not liked even by Congressmen," Yadav told PTI. He said the Haryana poll outcome reflects the people's trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the development agenda of the double-engine government. "People rejected Congress on the development issue and the language they used. The lotus (BJP symbol) will bloom for the third time in Haryana," Yadav said.

Haryana results: Cong looking for excuse for its defeat in state, says BJP

The BJP on Tuesday made light of the Congress raising the issue of "unexplained slowdown" of the Haryana poll results on the Election Commission website as the opposition party's attempt to build excuses for its impending defeat in the state elections. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi asserted that the trends in the counting of votes have made it clear that the ruling party is heading for a "glorious, decisive and historic" mandate in Haryana and will notch up its best ever show in Jammu and Kashmir. Asked about the Congress writing to the EC over the "unexplained slowdown" which allows "bad faith actors to spin narratives" that undermine the process, he mocked the opposition party for raising such an issue. It is a factually incorrect position to take, he said, adding that counting agents of the Congress are also there at booths to witness the proceedings. "The Congress is merely making an excuse in the view of its impending defeat," the Rajya Sabha MP said. Noting that the ...

Biggest lesson from Haryana never be overconfident in elections: Kejriwal

With the BJP racing ahead in Haryana as per the early trends, AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said the "biggest lesson" of the poll results is that one should never be "overconfident" in the elections. The BJP looks forward to a comfortable win in Haryana, leading in 50 of the 90 assembly seats. "Let us see what the results are in Haryana. The biggest lesson of this is that one should never be overconfident in the elections," said Kejriwal addressing a gathering of the AAP municipal councillors. "No election should be taken lightly. Each election and each seat is tough," he added. The AAP failed to reach a pre-poll alliance in Haryana with the Congress due to disagreement over number of seats to be contested by it. It independently contested 89 of the total 90 seats in the state after its demand for being given 9 seats was turned down by the Congress. The AAP candidates were trailing on almost all the seats behind their BJP and Congress opponents. Kejriwal had earlier du
