NEW DELHI: The victory in the Haryana assembly elections has been snatched from the Congress party and the system has been misused, MP Jairam Ramesh said on Tuesday and added that the party has been made to lose but it "has not lost. "
As the BJP seems to retain Haryana, the Congress again blamed the system and the EVM machine for their loss in the election.
At the press briefing, Jairam Ramesh said, "Whatever analysis we have to do about Haryana, we will definitely do it. But first of all, we have to send the complaints that are coming from different districts to the Election Commission . What we did, what we did not do, where did we go wrong, there will definitely be an analysis of this. A committee will also be formed, this has been the practice in the Congress party and the analysis will be done after talking to everyone. But now is not the time for analysis. The most important thing right now is that the victory has been snatched from us, the system has been misused. The sentiments of the people and everyone felt that the ground reality was in favour of change but the result that has come today does not reflect that. There will definitely be an analysis."
"As far as the results are concerned Haryana result our first priority is to collate consolidate all the complaints that have come from candidates from the three districts today there will be other complaints and we hope to submit this to the Election commission tomorrow evening or day after. That is our immediate priority. Simultaneously of course we will sit and introspect why the result went the way it did. It was everybody's expectation that the Congress would win comfortably in Haryana. I think all I can say is that the Congress has been made to lose Congress has not lost. Congress has been made to lose in Haryana and you have not heard the last of the Haryana," the Congress MP said on being asked about the Haryana polls.
In the Haryana election, the trends showed that the ruling BJP has crossed the majority mark in the Haryana assembly, while the Congress won 33 seats and leading on 4, till 6:00pm.
Meanwhile, the Congress leaders also talked about the Jammu and Kashmir elections and expressed their dissatisfaction with the performance of their party. Jairam Ramesh reminded that the Congress party was in first place in Maharashtra during Lok Sabha elections.
"In Jammu and Kashmir, we hope that soon NC and INC alliance government will be formed, a common program will be prepared and we will make every effort to fulfil the expectations of the people..." he said.
He further added, "The chapter in Jammu and Kashmir, of course, there will be a coalition government. And as I said till yesterday, various attempts were being made to ensure that the majority will not come to the Congress-NC coalition but the people of Jammu and Kashmir have given a very clear mandate for this coalition government."
Congress leader Pawan Khera, who was also there at the press briefing said that after the 10 years of gap, an "historical" election was held in Jammu and Kashmir.
"I congratulate the people of Jammu and Kashmir, they participated in this election with great enthusiasm and gave a befitting reply to those who had left no stone unturned in trampling the dignity of Jammu and Kashmir. Taking away the status of a full state and making it a Union Territory was unexpected in itself." he said.
