Exit polls leave Congress leaders disappointed

Yamunanagar: The predictions of exit polls have left the Congress leaders and workers disappointed. They were expecting victory in at least five Lok Sabha seats out of the 10 in Haryana.

Sharing his anguish over the predictions with his well-wishers, a Congress leader, who is in the race to getting a party ticket from a constituency in Yamunanagar district in the coming Assembly elections, said if the prediction comes true it would impact the Assembly elections too, casting a shadow on their future.

AAP leaders attack BJP

Show-cause notices talk of town

Panipat: Show-cause notices, which were issued to six party workers by the BJP’s district unit for alleged anti-party activities during the Lok Sabha election, have become the talk of the town in Panipat. A BJP worker resigned from the party’s membership on Saturday. He said the reason behind tendering in his resignation was that he did not want those who had personal grudges against him in the party to get a chance to force him out. However, the district president said that instead of going to the media, the worker should have discussed his issues on the party’s platform. To that, the party worker said that the notices were leaked from the party’s offices and the issue warranted investigation.
