Haryana CM Nayab Singh continued his lead over Congress’ Mewa Singh in the Ladwa Assembly constituency after round 4/16 of counting, as per the latest EC data.

Meanwhile, former Rajasthan CM and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot said that the ultimate victory will be of Congress in Haryana.

“Ultimate victory will be of Congress, Congress will form the govt…this is the fight of ideology,” Gehlot said.

Our government has been formed twice in Haryana and is going to be formed for the third time… In both places, the BJP is going to form the government with a clear majority, this shows how people have expressed faith in the work of BJP,” he said.
