While the assembly elections that took place last month were being tallied on 11th December, the Congress, as well as the BJP, had reason to celebrate but also to contemplate. The saffron party had a possibility of defeat in Jammu and Kashmir, and a tough contest in the Haryana Election, it clawed back in the race against Congress. As per the latest trends available on the Assembly election votes, BJP, which is in the battle for the third term in Haryana, was ahead in 47 out of the 90 seats, crossing the halfway mark by two seats.

The Congress, which gave indications of its potential during the counting phase, was ahead in 36 of the seats. It was predicted that Congress would lack enough vigour to emerge victorious in the Haryana Election, which is considered a key battleground state for both parties. It came to a stage where the BJP was given a hard run for its money, and the electorate and party supporters sat on the edge of their seats. If such tendencies continue, Congress may be ready to lose in the Haryana Election, which is a big blow for this important centre-state party. At the same time, in J&K, the prospects of Congress did seem better.
The party was on the way to achieving what some are describing as a second partner victory in the union territory, betraying signs of political transformation in this part of the country. This may turn out to be a shot in the arm for Congress as it seeks to redefine its role in the new balance of power in the Indian political system. Counting is in full swing, and the political atmosphere does not seem too relaxed as both parties wait to see what their future will look like.
