"My heartfelt thanks to the people of Jammu and Kashmir - India's victory in the state is a victory of the Constitution, a victory of democratic self-respect. We are analysing the unexpected results of Haryana. We will inform the Election Commission about the complaints coming from many assembly constituencies. Heartfelt thanks to all the people of Haryana for their support and to our Babbar Sher workers for their tireless hard work. We will continue this fight for rights, for social and economic justice, for truth, and will keep raising your voice," Gandhi posted on X.

INDIA bloc reacts 

Meanwhile, INDIA bloc allies have questioned the party's election strategy after its performance  in Haryana.  Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal said the "biggest lesson" of the election results is that one should never be "overconfident". "See, what are the election results in Haryana. The biggest lesson is that no one should be overconfident in elections. No election should be taken lightly. Every election and every seat is difficult,'' he said.

CPI general secretary D Raja urged the Congress to seriously introspect the results in Haryana and take along all INDIA bloc partners in the upcoming polls in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
