BJP Eyes Hattrick, Congress ComplainsBJP seems to be heading for a hattrick in Haryana as at about 11:30 am, it was shown leading in 49 seats, 3 seats more that the majority mark in the 90-member assembly. Congress was seen leading in 35 seats. In the opening hours, Congress members celebrated with crackers and sweets at their Delhi office. However, as the BJP gained the lead, the celebrations moved to the BJP headquarters.

Seeing the dramatic twist, Congress complained about counting data being uploaded on the Election Commission's website after the BJP dramatically surged past the party's tally in the early trends.Congress General Secretary and communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh tweeted, "Like the Lok Sabha elections, in Haryana we are again witnessing slowing down of uploading up-to-date trends on the ECI website. Is the BJP trying to build pressure on the administration by sharing outdated and misleading trends."Ramesh also wrote to the Election Commission, alleging "inordinate and unacceptable delay in updating trends" in the Haryana Assembly election results.
