“Haryana Not BJP Win, It Is Congress’ Defeat”: AAP’s Raghav Chadha To NDTV

Refusing to concede that the Haryana victory, a record third consecutive one, will burnish BJP’s credentials as a dominant political force in the country, AAP’s Raghav Chadha pointed to ruling party’s 39% vote share. 61% vote was against the ruling party, said Mr Chaddha, adding that the election was more of a Congress defeat than the BJP win. “I would have agreed had the BJP secured more than 50% of the total votes polled.

The year was 2019, precisely a month after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government announced the abrogation of Article 370, and “these people” in question were the leaders of Jammu & Kashmir’s regional parties: the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
