Congress is feeling optimistic about its chances of securing a victory in Haryana, with party members confident ahead of the October 8 election results. This sense of assurance mirrors the situation in 2005 when Congress was in a similar position of power. However, internal competition for the Chief Minister's post has already surfaced, with several leaders eyeing the position, much like in 2005.
Back in 2005, Bhajan Lal Bishnoi was the focal point of the campaign, but internal dynamics saw multiple leaders, including Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja, and others, competing for the top post. Hooda ultimately secured the position with backing from the Congress high command, despite Bhajan Lal's influence and resistance. Hooda went on to serve two consecutive terms as Chief Minister.
Today, the scenario feels familiar.
