BSP leader Mayawati criticized the “casteist” individuals within the Jat community in Haryana for the negative assembly election outcomes, urging them to alter their mindset. The BSP had contested the Haryana elections alongside the local party INLD.
The BJP surprised its competitors by winning the state elections for the third consecutive time, securing 48 out of 90 seats, with the Congress amassing 37 and the INLD only managing to win two. Meanwhile, three seats were won by Independent candidates, as reported by the Election Commission.
