In India's Haryana, the recent state assembly elections saw the BJP win 48 seats, while the Congress won 37. This was in contrast to the result exit polls were predicting — a resounding return to power for the Congress.

Senior members of the INC met with officials of the Election Commission of India (ECI). As per reports, they told the ECI of complaints from 20 of the 90 constituencies in the state. They have been assured that their concerns will be looked into.

Congress rejects 'totally unexpected' Haryana assembly elections results, files complaint with ECI

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken a playful jab at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, turning his recent remarks about jalebi into a political poke.

<h2 bis_size="{&quot;x&quot;:7,&quot;y&quot;:67,&quot;w&quot;:813,&quot;h&quot;:25,&quot;abs_x&quot;:40,&quot;abs_y&quot;:1757}">What did BJP do?&nbsp;</h2>

During a rally in Gohana, Gandhi, while campaigning for the assembly elections, had praised a local sweet shop, Matu Ram halwai, for its jalebi, suggesting it should be sold nationwide and even exported. He mentioned that if made in a "factory", it could generate more jobs. However, this comment sparked a flurry of memes and jokes, with many arguing that Jalebi is best enjoyed fresh.

Playing on Gandhi's comments, after a surprising victory in Haryana, the BJP's state unit sent a box of jalebi to Gandhi's residence. A food app order for 1 kg of the sweet was placed from a popular shop in Delhi, with the Haryana BJP sharing the order details on social media.

"On behalf of all workers Bharatiya Janata Party Haryana, jalebi has been sent to Rahul Gandhi’s house," wrote BJP's Haryana wing on X.

Sweet revenge! BJP pokes fun at Rahul Gandhi with jalebi gift after Haryana assembly election victory

The much-anticipated results of the Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir Assembly elections 2024 will be announced by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on October 8. Watch this report for more details!

Haryana Assembly Election 2024: Counting Of Votes For Assembly Elections

Disqualified Olympic wrestler Vinesh Phogat successfully contested the assembly elections in the Indian state of Haryana after she won the Julana seat on Tuesday (Oct 8). Phogat, disqualified for being overweight in the women’s 50kg freestyle wrestling category at the Paris Olympics, successfully contested the Julana seat as a candidate of the Indian National Congress (INC) and got the better of Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Yogesh Kumar&nbsp;seat by&nbsp;6015 votes.&nbsp;

<h2>Vinesh wins Julana seat</h2>

Having joined the INC after retiring from wrestling, Phogat’s battle with Yogesh Kumar was the highlight reel during the assembly elections of Haryana. According to the Election Commission of India website after 15 rounds, Phogat got 65080 votes, 6015 more than BJP candidate Yogesh (59065) to win the seat at the first attempt. INC’s main leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge had campaigned for the former wrestler from the Julana seat.

In 2023 she was part of the wrestler’s protest that protested against then Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Singh Sharan. Along with Phogat, Sakshi Mallik and Bajrang Punia also protested against the BJP-influenced WFI panel.

<h2>Phogat bounces back from disappointment</h2>

It has not been a happy couple of months for the Indian wrestler as she got disqualified for being overweight in the 50kg women’s freestyle wrestling at the Paris Olympics. She had qualified for the gold medal match before being disqualified. After the disqualification, Phogat was in the limelight for refusing to speak on a phone call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She also alleged that Indian Olympic Association (IOA) head P.T. Usha wanted to record a conversation with her for a social media post.&nbsp;

While Phogat’s win comes as a big win for INC, the Rahul Gandhi-led party is unlikely to return to power in the North Indian state. At the time of writing, INC is leading on 37 seats while BJP is leading on 48 seats, overall trailing by 11 seats in the 90-seater house.

Haryana Assembly Election Results: Disqualified Indian Olympic wrestler Vinesh Phogat wins Julana seat

Haryana Assembly Election Result 2024: In Haryana, politicians have been restlessly waiting for the election result, with the ruling BJP eyeing a third consecutive term and the Congress hopeful for a comeback after 10 years.&nbsp;

Early trends showed Tuesday (Oct 8) that Congress initially managed to cross the majority mark easily for the 90-seat strong assembly in Haryana, but then came a shocking turn.&nbsp;Not only did the BJP cross&nbsp;the majority mark, but it is now leading in the tally, as per the official data on the Election Commission of India (ECI)’s website.

As per most exit polls earlier, the Congress party was on the cusp of making a comeback, which suggested that the saffron party would fail to woo the voters this time in Haryana.

The average of the various exit polls suggested that Congress may end up with 44-61 seats while BJP will finish second with 18-32 seats. However, the actual trends turned out to be completely different. At first, it looked like Congress would clean sweep this election, the trends then indicated a bipolar result in the state with both major parties in a close contest.

BJP then took a huge leap forward and is currently leading in the state with 49 seats, with Congress in second spot, leading with 37 seats.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) will begin counting of votes on Tuesday (Oct 8) morning as political parties and leaders in the northern Indian state of Haryana anxiously wait for the result of the assembly polls. Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), battling 10 years of anti-incumbency, will be hoping to continue its domination in the region while Congress remains hopeful of staging a comeback.&nbsp;

The counting process will begin at 8 am local time on Tuesday as the ECI officials unlock the EVMs (Electronic Voting Machine), holding the fate of leaders in the state.&nbsp;

"A three-tier security arrangement&nbsp;has&nbsp;been made at counting venues," Haryana's Chief Electoral Officer Pankaj Agarwal told PTI on Monday.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The voting was held in a single phase on October 5, with approximately 67.9&nbsp;per cent voter turnout recorded.&nbsp;Ellenabad assembly seat in Sirsa district had the highest polling percentage at more than 80 per cent.&nbsp;

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who took over from Manohar Lal Khattar earlier this year, led the BJP’s campaign. Saini&nbsp;will continue as the CM if the party wins, BJP said earlier.

Former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda is the frontrunner for the CM post and led the Congress campaign in Haryana, but party leader Kumari Selja has also expressed interest in the post.

<h2>What are exit polls predicting?</h2>

As per most exit polls, the grand old party stands on the cusp of making a comeback, which suggests that the saffron swing, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has&nbsp;failed to woo the voters this time in Haryana.&nbsp;

The average of the various exit polls suggests that Congress may end up with 44-61 seats while BJP will finish second with 18-32 seats.&nbsp;
