Congress wins Maha, Arunachal; fractured verdict in Haryana

The Congress coasted to power in Maharashtra for the third consecutive term and won a landslide victory in Arunachal Pradesh but its gamble in Haryana failed to pay off when it fell short of majority.

The Congress-NCP combine, which has been ruling Maharashtra for the past ten years, got 144 seats out of the total 288 seats needing one more for a simple majority.

With rebels of both the parties and independents winning 49 seats, the ruling alliance may not have difficulty in mustering a majority.
