Haryana Election Result 2024: The results of Haryana Assembly elections are out, Bharatiya Janata Party won and Congress lost. However, Congress’s defeat in this election result is not surprising. The surprising thing is that amidst the anti-government wave, the Bharatiya Janata Party overwhelmingly crossed the majority mark and proved all the exit polls wrong. The bail of Dushyant Chautala, who claimed to be the key to power, was confiscated. However, Congress is not able to digest this defeat and is now claiming all kinds of irregularities. Well, instead of allegations and counter-allegations, Congress needs to discuss the fact that where it was seeing victory even with closed eyes, it suffered such a bad defeat. There are many reasons behind this defeat of Congress…
Kumari Selja Vs Hooda Family
Senior Congress Party and Dalit leader Kumari Selja had openly opened a front against the Hooda family. But the dominance of the Hooda family remained in the party. Be it regarding ticket distribution or election planning. Kumari Selja’s morale continued to rise till a few days before the elections. The situation was such that the party’s national president Mallikarjun Kharge had to cancel even his rally. Kumari Selja had openly said that she deserves the post of CM. Bhupendra Hooda should decide in his own house who will become the CM? Whereas Hooda showed his dominance in such a way that Kumari Selja did not even get the ticket.
BJP capitalized on Selja’s issue
BJP launched a fierce attack on the declining stature of Kumari Selja in Congress and called Congress an anti-Dalit party. The situation was such that every BJP leader was expressing concern over the neglect of Kumari Selja. BJP said that Congress can never provide welfare to Dalits. Congress is doing wrong with Kumari Selja.
Who will take action?
Now, whatever may have been the reasons for Congress’s defeat. But will the party high command do anything against Kumari Selja or the Hooda family or not? Because after the election results, when Bhupendra Hooda was asked about this, Bhupendra Singh Hooda said that action should be taken, the party will see. After the defeat of Congress, Kumari Selja raised questions on the party and said that the results are disappointing. There is a need to think afresh. It will not continue as it is. What shortcomings remain to be seen?
