Congress Veteran Hooda Leads Massive Victory in Rohtak-Jhajjar Belt 

The Congress party has maintained its iron grip on the Rohtak-Jhajjar belt of Haryana, with former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda leading the charge through a historic sixth consecutive victory in the Garhi Sampla-Kiloi constituency. 

Hooda's Record-Breaking Victory 

In a remarkable display of political dominance, Hooda secured his largest-ever victory margin of 71,465 votes, polling 1,08,539 votes against BJP candidate Manju Hooda's 37,074. This victory not only reinforces Hooda's personal political legacy but also demonstrates his continuing influence in the region.

Congress Sweeps Regional Seats 

The party's success extended beyond Hooda's constituency, with Congress winning seven out of eight assembly seats in the Rohtak-Jhajjar belt. Notable victories include Bharat Bhushan Batra's narrow win in Rohtak by 1,341 votes, and Dr. Raghuvir Singh Kadian's sixth consecutive win from Beri with a substantial margin of 35,470 votes. 

Key Battle Outcomes

• Shakuntla Khatak secured her fourth victory from Kalanaur (reserved) constituency
• Former Education Minister Geeta Bhukkal won her fifth consecutive term in Jhajjar
• Congress's Kuldeep Vats defeated BJP national secretary Om Prakash Dhankar in Badli
• In Meham, Congress newcomer Balram avenged his father's previous defeat against Independent candidate Balraj Kundu 

Surprise in Bahadurgarh

The only seat that eluded Congress's direct control was Bahadurgarh, where Independent candidate Rajesh Joon, a Congress rebel, secured a decisive victory with 73,191 votes, defeating both BJP and Congress candidates by a significant margin. 

The comprehensive victory in this region, particularly in traditional strongholds, suggests that Congress maintains its influence in what is often called Haryana's Jatland, despite BJP's overall success in the state.
