Haryana
Congress has won the first two Assembly seats declared so far in Haryana. While Venod Sharma won the Ambala city seat by trouncing his nearest rival Charanjeet Kaur of Shiromani Akali Dal by a margin of 35,550 votes, party candidate Venod Sharma won the Ambala city seat by defeating his nearest rival Charanjeet Kaur of Shiromani Akali Dal by a margin of 35,550 votes.
Against all predictions, the Haryana Congress is finding it difficult to come up to the expectation in the first two rounds of counting in the state as the Om Prakash Chautala led the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) gave tough contest in the state. Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was though leading in his constituency of Garhi Sampla Kiloi in his home district of Rohtak.
