Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India - Congress leader Harish Rawat has expressed confidence in the party's strategy for the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. He emphasized that the party has learned from past experiences in Haryana and will be more cautious this time. Rawat stated, "Our alliance will win the assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. We have learned a lesson from Haryana and will be more careful. Wherever we are united in fighting elections, we are winning... We will also win in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and other by-elections."
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal also shared his optimism, stating that the party is prepared to secure victories in both states. He mentioned, "We are confident of winning both the assembly elections and the by-elections being held across the country... The Jharkhand Assembly's term runs until the last week of December, yet they announced it first. The Maharashtra Assembly's term ends on November 26, but they announced the Maharashtra elections last. I believe there is a lack of transparency, but we are ready to fight and win."
