Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi had said the party's victory is that of its workers and asked them to keep fighting hate without fear
Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram on November 3 said the bypoll results in Assembly constituencies show "the honours are even" today between the BJP and the parties opposed to it, as he wondered which way will the wind blow in the 2022 elections in various States.
Reacting to the bypoll results, he said here is a "thought provoking analysis of the results of by-elections in 30 Assembly constituencies — BJP won seven seats and its declared allies won eight seats. Congress won eight seats. Non-BJP parties won seven seats of which only one seat was won by a crypto ally of the BJP, namely YSR Congress.The other six seats were won by parties opposed to the BJP, the Congress leader said.
"The honours are even today. Which way will the wind blow in 2022?" Mr. Chidambaram said.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
