Congress Leader Ashok Gehlot Confident of Victory in Haryana Elections
Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], October 3: Congress leader Ashok Gehlot expressed strong confidence in his party’s success in the upcoming Haryana assembly elections. Speaking to reporters in Jaipur, he said, “There is a Congress storm in Haryana. The Congress will win with a huge majority. Ever since Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi held a road show there, the atmosphere has become one-sided. What was once a small breeze is now a storm. Congress will win by a landslide.”
Rahul Gandhi’s Meeting with Athletes
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, met with athletes from Haryana and emphasized that sportspersons should lead sports bodies. He posted on X, “No money, no game – this is the reality for most athletes in India today. I met a group of players from Haryana and across the country to hear their concerns. Completely disillusioned with the system and struggling with a lack of basic facilities such as diet, rest, and training, these young athletes are losing hope and confidence – a greater loss for India than missing out on Olympic glory.”
Priyanka Gandhi’s Criticism of BJP
Priyanka Gandhi strongly criticized the BJP, accusing the party of betraying farmers, youth, soldiers, and women. Addressing a public rally in Bhiwani, Haryana, she said, “When you voted for the BJP twice, did you expect such widespread looting, where all the country’s airports and ports would be handed over to a few industrialists? Even we could not have imagined such a monumental betrayal.” She referred to Kurukshetra as the land of the Mahabharata, where Lord Krishna delivered the message of the triumph of truth over falsehood, and righteousness over unrighteousness. She said the people of Haryana are following that example today. “The people of Haryana are rising up against the BJP for the injustices faced by farmers, soldiers, and wrestlers. Congress is set to form the government with a significant majority,” she declared.
Upcoming Elections
Haryana will go to the polls on October 5 to elect its 90-member state legislative assembly, with the results set to be announced on October 8.
