BSP chief Mayawati on Tuesday blamed the casteist mindset of the Jat community of the state for the adverse Haryana assembly election results and advising them to change their mentality. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) had fought the Haryana polls in alliance with the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), the regional party. The BJP stunned its rivals with its performance, winning the state polls for a third time in a row by bagging 48 seats, while the Congress managed 37 and the INLD scored victory on just two as three went to Independent candidates, according to the Election Commission. The BSP pocketed 1.82 per cent vote share while its ally INLD got 4.14 per cent, the data analysis on the EC website showed. Mayawati, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister, on Tuesday night took to social media platform X and said, "The BSP and the INLD fought the Haryana assembly general election in alliance. But today's result shows that the casteist people of the Jat community did not vote for the BSP due to which the party candidates lost on some seats by a small margin of votes, although the BSP's entire vote was transferred."
"The people of the Jat community of UP have changed their casteist mentality to a great extent and they have become MLAs from the BSP and ministers in the government. The people of the Jat community of Haryana should also follow their footsteps and change their casteist mentality. This is a special advice," Mayawati posted in Hindi.
She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to all the BSP members for fighting this election with full strength and assured them that their hard work will not go in vain. People should not be disappointed nor lose hope. But they should be ready to make their own path. A new path will emerge, she added in the three-part post. (PTI)

Addressing party workers in Delhi, PM Modi said, "Whether it is the Election Commission of the country, the police, the judiciary, the Congress wants to tarnish every institution. You will remember the kind of ruckus they created before the results of the Lok Sabha elections. During the elections too, these people and their urban Naxalite allies had gone to the Supreme Court to tarnish the image of the Election Commission. Today also they have done the same. Congress has tried to mislead the people of the country. Congress always tries to question the impartiality of our institutions, tries to tarnish their reputation. This has been the habit of Congress. Congress has been doing such things shamelessly..."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "Congress wants to weaken the country by weakening the Indian society and spreading anarchy in India, that is why they are instigating different sections. They are constantly trying to ignite a fire.

Many attempts were made to instigate Dalits and OBCs but this society also recognized this conspiracy and said that they are with the country, they are with the BJP."

Counting of votes for the Assembly Elections in Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir begins. The fate of candidates on 90 Vidhan Sabha seats across all 22 districts in Haryana and 90 seats across all 20 districts in J&K is being decided today.
"We are going to form a one-sided government. Today is the day of counting and I am confident that as a result of the work done by the BJP government in the last ten years, we will form the government in Haryana for the third time... Our government will continue to serve the people of Haryana. Congress works for power, BJP works for service," said Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.
Congress leader and Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda Monday exuded confidence that his party will form the next government in Haryana and said that Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' had build the atmosphere in party's favour in the state. Haryana went to polls on Saturday while results will be declared on Tuesday.
Congress is eyeing to wrest power from the BJP, which has been ruling Haryana for the past 10 years. Deepender Hooda said that after Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' came to Haryana in December 2022, the atmosphere in the state started building in favour of Congress. "People had shown a glimpse of this in the Lok Sabha elections and gave the highest 47.6 per cent votes to Congress in Haryana in the entire country," he said, according to a statement.

Political parties and leaders wait with bated breath for the Haryana Assembly poll results on Tuesday, with the ruling BJP confident of retaining power for a third term, and the Congress, which is out of power for 10 years, more than hopeful of making a comeback. Officials said all preparations, including security arrangements, have been completed for the counting process which begins at 8 am on October 8. A three-tier security arrangement has been made at counting venues, Haryana's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Pankaj Agarwal told PTI on Monday.
Urban apathy continues to drag down the overall voter turnout in Haryana, the Election Commission lamented on Monday, noting that electors across rural areas turned up at polling stations with greater vigour. A voter turnout of 67.9 per cent has been recorded across the 90 assembly constituencies in Haryana which went to polls on Saturday.
The EC said the turnout reflects significantly higher voter response compared to last Lok Sabha elections which recorded 64.8 per cent voting in the state. The turnout nearly touched the figures of assembly elections in 2019, which stood at 68.3 per cent.
The poll panel has been struggling with the phenomenon of 'urban and youth apathy' where electors in metros, especially the youth, prefer to stay indoors and do not turn up at polling stations to cast votes on polling day.
