PM tears into Congress, Rahul breaks silence 

A day after the BJP's remarkable win in the Haryana Assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tore into the Congress, accusing the party of "misleading the public" and "spreading lies among the Dalit community".

Virtually addressing the people in Nagpur today, PM Modi said that people in Haryana showed that "they will not fall prey to the hatred conspiracies of the Congress and its urban Naxal allies." The entire ecosystem of Congress was misleading the public...They tried to spread lies among the Dalits. The Dalits realised that Congress would snatch away reservations from them and distribute them to their vote bank," PM Modi said.

While, leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday broke his silence on the party's dismal performance in the state and said the grand old party was analysing what he called "unexpected" result in the state. He also flagged 'irregularities' in the counting of votes in some Assembly constituencies in Haryana.

Rahul Gandhi, in a tweet, posted a day after the declaration of results in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir, said the Congress would inform the Election Commission about complaints of discrepancies in the counting of votes in some Assembly constituencies in Haryana. On the National Conference-Congress win in Jammu and Kashmir, Rahul said, “The result is a victory of the Constitution, a victory of democratic self-respect,"  "My heartfelt thanks to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.”
