Putting on a brave face despite counting trends see-sawing and tilting in the BJP’s favour after giving the Congress a comfortable lead, senior Congress leader and former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has said his party will form a government in Haryana.
Speaking to reporters around 10.15 am, when the BJP was leading in 48 seats in Haryana – three over the halfway mark – Mr Hooda insisted that the Congress would get a majority on his own. When he was asked the question repeatedly, Mr Hooda maintained his stand, but his body language appeared to betray him.
