Why Congress Defeat in Haryana : Congress started the election campaign in Haryana with full force, but gradually the internal conflict within the party came out in the open. On one side was the camp of senior party leader and former Chief Minister of the state Bhupendra Singh Hooda and on the other side were the supporters of Randeep Surjewala. The one whose displeasure was most discussed within the Congress party was MP Kumari Selja. Whose camp was seen in a different style during this election? Kumari Selja herself stayed away from the party's election campaign for a long time and even if she participated, it was very reluctantly. The result of this clearly emerged in the election results.

Why did Congress have to face defeat in Haryana?

On one hand, the presence of the Aam Aadmi Party against Congress was already troubling Congress, while the infighting within the party among the top leaders of the state caused more damage to the party. On one hand, the Dalit vote bank of the party was showing resentment due to Congress not accepting Kumari Selja's suggestion in ticket distribution. On the other hand, many leaders of the party who were waiting for tickets joined other parties due to not getting the ticket or contested the election as independents against their own party's candidate.

Rahul Gandhi held rallies in 12 seats in Haryana.

In this entire election, Congress's star campaigner Rahul Gandhi held election rallies in 12 seats in Haryana, out of which the party managed to win only 5 seats. Out of these, Congress suffered such a setback in Ganaur, Sonipat, and Bahadurgarh that independent candidates won from here, and on the Ganaur seat, the Congress candidate came second. Meaning, the factionalism within the party could not end with Rahul Gandhi's campaign. Rahul Gandhi also gave the message of party unity by making Kumari Selja and Bhupendra Singh Hooda shake hands from the stage, but this also did not work here.

Kumari Selja was upset with the dominance of the Hooda camp.

Kumari Selja was upset due to the dominance of Bhupendra Singh Hooda's camp in the distribution of party tickets in the assembly elections and had even said that she does not talk to Bhupendra Hooda. In the Haryana elections, Bhupendra Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja, and even Randeep Surjewala expressed their desire to become the CM. Bhupendra Singh Hooda has been the CM of the state twice and he has prepared his fielding for the third time.

All hopes were shattered because of the betrayal.

By playing the Dalit and women card, as well as getting closer to the party high command, Kumari Selja was also eyeing the CM's chair. In such a situation, the infighting within the Congress had started in Haryana even before the election results.

Just two days before the election results were announced, both Kumari Selja and Bhupendra Singh Hooda were camping in Delhi. Neither of them was in a mood to delay in staking their claim with the election results. In such a situation, the kind of results of the assembly elections that came from Haryana made it clear that Congress defeated Congress here and the fight within the party kept it away from power.
