Haryana Election Results: After the unexpected setback in the Haryana Assembly elections, Congress is still not ready to accept its defeat in the state, where it was confident of attaining majority. The party has also alleged that it was “made to lose” and that the outcomes did not align with what the ground reality was. Amid this, a video has surfaced on social media, wherein ‘dholakiyas’ can be seen leaving the premises of the Congress headquarters earlier today as the party failed to emerge victorious.
In the video, when the ‘dholakiyas’ are asked why they were leaving even before the final results were out, one of them can be heard saying that they were asked to leave since the Congress did not bag enough seats. The ‘dhol’ player said that they had been paid their due amount and were told that they would be called in future.
Are you courageous enough to accept your defeat beforehand?

When the trends started pouring in the Congress had also alleged that the Election Commission website was being updated slowly. “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 Is the BJP trying to build pressure on administration by sharing outdated and misleading trends?” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh had posted on X.
Congress leader Pawan Khera had also claimed that the actual number of rounds counted and the number of rounds being shown through the Election Commission data on television were a mismatch.
“The EC data is lagging behind, they are still showing 4th or the 5th found data while 11 rounds have been counted,” he said.
