Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi commented on the Haryana election results on Tuesday, urging Congress to rethink its strategies. She highlighted that in states like Madhya Pradesh and Haryana, where Congress is losing ground in direct contests, it must reassess its approach. “The results are surprising. There was widespread talk of anti-incumbency in the state, with farmers feeling frustrated and women in distress,” Chaturvedi noted. She pointed out that despite signs suggesting a shift in government, the ruling party won for a third consecutive term, overcoming anti-incumbency sentiments.
Chaturvedi emphasized the need for Congress to engage in self-reflection to identify mistakes. She questioned whether issues such as ticket distribution and inclusivity played a role in their losses. “Despite the grievances, the people of Haryana placed their trust in the ruling party,” she added.

On the subject of Jammu and Kashmir, Chaturvedi remarked that elections hadn’t occurred for a decade, yet the recent polls saw a high voter turnout against the BJP. “This shows that the image BJP was trying to project of development was not real, and it is clearly a loss for them,” she stated. She extended her best wishes to the National Conference for their strong comeback.
In Maharashtra, Chaturvedi reiterated the commitment of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, emphasizing the collective responsibility to combat corruption and address financial mismanagement. “We are fighting together, and it is our responsibility to raise our voice against the exploitation of common people,” she concluded.
