NEW DELHI: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi expressed his 'heartfelt gratitude' to the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their support while also acknowledging the party's need to analyze its 'unexpected' losses in the Haryana Assembly elections . Rahul said, “My 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 analysing the unexpected results of Haryana.
We will inform the Election Commission about the complaints coming from many assembly constituencies,” Signaling a commitment despite electoral setback, Rahul added, “Heartfelt thanks to all the people of Haryana for their support and to our Babbar Sher workers for their tireless hard work. We will continue this fight for rights, for social and economic justice, for truth, and will keep raising your voice.” This comes after BJP 's IT cell chief Amit Malviya on Wednesday questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his silence following the election results in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir.
Malviya accused Rahul Gandhi of displaying "arrogance" and "lack of grace" in the aftermath of the Congress party's defeat in Haryana. BJP achieved its best-ever tally of 48 seats—one more than in the 2014 elections. The Congress managed to secure 37 seats, while the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) claimed two seats, and three independent candidates also emerged victorious.
Notably, the BJP contested 89 of the 90 seats in Haryana,.
