Congress leaders Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Pawan Khera expressed their disbelief over the party’s unexpected defeat in an election that many had anticipated would result in a Congress victory. They have indicated that complaints regarding an additional 13 constituencies will be submitted to the poll body in the coming days.

In a press briefing after their meeting with ECI officials, Khera stated, “The Election Commission has assured us that they will investigate our concerns and respond after consulting the returning officers from each constituency. We have already presented documentation of our complaints concerning 20 assembly constituencies, and we will provide additional complaints from 13 more within the next 48 hours.”
