Rahul Gandhi praised the increase in Congress vote share in Haryana and and asked everyone to work unitedly to win the state assembly polls.
“Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leaders Rahul Gandhi and KC Venugopal held a meeting with 40 leaders of the party’s Haryana unit today. Our vote share increased to 47.69 per cent in Haryana in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Rahul Gandhi appreciated the vote gain in the state and he asked to work unitedly and ensure the party’s victory in the state assembly polls…We can say with confidence that we are going to win in the state assembly polls and will get more than 70 seats,” Babaria said.
“The main issues are the issue of Agniveer, unemployment, the problem of farmers and along with this, issues related to education, health and women, urban housing and amenities…we find solutions to all of these,” Babaria added.
