Congress came in close and secured 36 seats and one candidate is currently leading in the Rohtak seat.

The Haryana Assembly election results have come as a blow to the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which hoped to make a mark in the elections.

The party drew a blank so far with its senior vice president of the state unit Anurag Dhanda is among those set to suffer a big defeat

The people of Haryana are very utilitarian when it comes to electing their government. Except for a period of two years, Haryana has had a government of the same party that was ruling at the Centre.

According to ECI website the current vote shares for major parties are -

BJP - 39.61%

Congress - 40.01%

INLD - 4.39%

Sharmita Kar writes, the Congress was walking a tightrope throughout the campaign due to an apparent tussle between Bhupinder Singh Hooda–a Jat leader–and Selja Kumari, the party's most prominent Dalit face, with the latter evidently in the sidelines. 

The apparent infighting within the Congress came to the fore during the selection of candidates. Of the 90 seats in Haryana, 72 seats have Congress candidates from the Hooda camp. This went against the party's own campaign for inclusivity across communities and particularly impacted the Dalit vote base it sought to regain. 

Selja, a general secretary of the Congress, who has a major influence in the Assembly constituencies in Sirsa and Fatehabad districts of Haryana, did not attend the launch of the party's manifesto and stayed out of the campaigning for the most part. She was reportedly upset over the ticket distribution as she had requested tickets in 30 seats but got only nine, and was unable to convince the party leadership to nominate her close aide Ajay Chaudhary from the Narnaund seat.

The Jat-Dalit consolidation, which was the Congress’ trump card, may not have delivered due to dissatisfaction of the the Dalit vote base with the direction taken by the party’s leadership. The Jat community constitutes about 27 per cent of the state’s population, whereas the Scheduled Castes (SC) constitute around 20 per cent of the population. Dalits in Haryana, particularly the Chamar community, historically sided with the Congress but turned to BJP in the last decade.

Congress General Secretary and communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh in a post on X wrote, "Like the Lok Sabha elections, in Haryana we are again witnessing slowing down of uploading up-to-date trends on the ECI website. Is the BJP trying to build pressure on the administration by sharing outdated and misleading trends."
