Reacting to the lack of Congress in Haryana Meeting polls, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday stated the Congress has misplaced a straightforward battle and insisted on declaring the CM face earlier than the polls in Maharashtra.

“The defeat in Haryana is unlucky. INDIA alliance ought to have fought as a united entrance in Haryana. Possibly that manner there would have been a special outcome. Had Congress shaped an alliance with Samajwadi Social gathering, Aam Aadmi Social gathering, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP) and contested the election, then INDIA would positively have gained. Congress’s satisfaction made them lose the Haryana elections. The three events of the Maha Vikas Aghadi ought to now collectively declare the face for the submit of Chief Minister. Congress thought they might win this election unilaterally and so they don’t want anybody.
Many exit polls had been saying the identical. I’ve not met a single particular person or journalist who stated that BJP will win in Haryana. Nevertheless, it’s unlucky that Congress has to witness this defeat. Many issues might be discovered from this. BJP has gained the misplaced sport. So nobody ought to consider himself as an elder brother or a youthful brother. It must also be famous that the success within the Lok Sabha was the success of the INDIA alliance,” Raut stated.
He additionally requested Congress to make clear its stand whether or not it needs to contest the polls alone or in alliance and took a jibe saying Congress has a expertise of shedding the battle which they’ve already gained. “If Congress needs to struggle by itself within the nation, it ought to take a public stand.

We are going to discuss to Raut in our conferences and can search reply about his statements. I can solely counsel him that our coordination ought to ship a optimistic message in Maharashtra,” stated Nana Patole, expressing unhappiness over Raut’s public outburst.
“In states the place Congress is weak, it fights elections by forming alliances with different regional events and in states the place Congress feels that it’s sturdy, it retains different events away. Therefore the outcomes like in Haryana. Had INDIA confronted the Haryana elections as a united entrance, the outcomes would have been totally different. INDIA Alliance would have gotten majority. Congress misplaced 9 seats. This isn’t an enormous distinction. In fact, we aren’t disillusioned with this outcome. However, Congress has to take a stand. Elections are happening in lots of states. If Congress needs to struggle there by itself, it ought to take such a stand. Then different regional events in that state will take their stand,” Raut stated.
He, nonetheless, stated the Haryana outcomes wouldn’t have an effect on Maharashtra. “The outcomes of the Haryana Meeting elections is not going to have any influence on Maharashtra as a result of there are vigilant leaders like Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray,” he stated.
On seat sharing, Raut stated, “Seat sharing in Maharashtra has virtually been finalised, however have to be taught a lesson from what occurred in Haryana and it shouldn’t be repeated within the state. It should be corrected in Maharashtra. With out the assist of regional events, no occasion can rule the nation. Be it Congress or BJP. At the moment, the Modi authorities is working with the assist of regional events. Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s authorities was additionally shaped with the assist of regional events. Manmohan Singh’s authorities was additionally shaped with the assist of regional events. Regional events are wanted and can stay so.”
Whereas Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena has been vocal, submit the Haryana Meeting elections, Sharad Pawar-led NCP has chosen to not assault the Congress. “There is no such thing as a query of distinction of opinion (on a CM face). We’re a staff participant. No matter our alliance companions determine, we are going to conform to it. An important factor is for the MVA authorities to come back in energy and nothing else,” stated NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule.
