While addressing party workers in Delhi, Prime Minister Modi stated, "Congress aims to undermine every institution, including the Election Commission, police, and judiciary. You might recall the chaos they created before the Lok Sabha election results. During the elections, they, along with their urban Naxalite allies, even approached the Supreme Court to damage the reputation of the Election Commission, and they've done the same again today. Congress has consistently attempted to mislead the public and question the impartiality of our institutions, tarnishing their credibility. This behavior has become a pattern for Congress, which has been acting shamelessly."

8:56 PM, 8 Oct

While addressing party workers at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked, "In J&K, Congress's allies were already concerned about losses due to their association with Congress, and today's results confirm those fears. We witnessed a similar pattern in the Lok Sabha elections, where many of Congress's wins came through their allies. Unfortunately, where allies placed their trust in Congress, they faced defeat. This pattern of poor performance has hurt Congress's allies in various states. Congress operates like a parasitic entity, undermining its partners. Their goal is to create a nation that disparages its heritage, questions national institutions, and tarnishes the pride of the countrymen, including institutions like the Election Commission, police, and judiciary."

While addressing party workers at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated, "Congress aims to weaken our nation by undermining Indian society and spreading chaos. They are consistently attempting to incite different groups. The country witnessed their attempts to provoke farmers, but the farmers of Haryana responded decisively, showing their support for the country and the BJP. Numerous efforts were made to incite Dalits and OBCs, but this community also recognized the conspiracy and affirmed their allegiance to the country and the BJP."

8:49 PM, 8 Oct

While addressing party workers in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked, "In every state where the BJP forms a government, the people continue to support us. In contrast, when was the last time Congress returned to power? It was over 13 years ago in 2011 in Assam. Since then, they haven't formed a government in any state, and in most states, people have effectively put up 'no entry' signs for Congress."

8:43 PM, 8 Oct

While addressing party workers at the BJP headquarters in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated, "The victory in Haryana reflects the hard work of party workers, JP Nadda, and CM Nayab Singh Saini.

Wherever Congress is present, there is corruption, commission, and criminalization."

In Kaithal, Haryana, Aditya Surjewala, the victorious Congress candidate from the Kaithal assembly seat, stated, "We secured wins in 3 out of 4 seats in Kaithal, thanks to the hard work of our candidates. This victory represents the aspirations of our youth and the contributions of mothers and sisters.

AAP Haryana president Sushil Gupta remarked, "The Aam Aadmi Party will conduct a review of its performance. When the national alliance was established, it resulted in a defeat for the BJP. While AAP opened its account in Jammu and Kashmir, we chose to leave many seats for Congress, hoping they would achieve success. However, the lack of an alliance in Haryana has led to Congress facing the consequences while the BJP forms the government. Elections should never be underestimated; overconfidence can be detrimental. If we had campaigned together, the alliance could have secured at least 70 seats."

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor stated, "In a democracy, the will of the people is paramount. While the BJP claims significant support in J&K following recent events, this is clearly untrue, as we see strong backing for the NC-Congress alliance. The unexpected results in Haryana warrant an analysis of what went wrong, especially given the longstanding dissatisfaction with BJP governance."

Regarding the election results in Haryana and J&K, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule stated, "When PM Modi took his oath for a third term, the citizens of the country believed that only he could realize the vision of a developed India. While I can't speak for the thoughts of the people in Haryana, it seems they sought to hold the Congress accountable for the falsehoods they’ve spread."
