Results declared: Winners in Maharashtra, Arunachal & Haryana

New Delhi: Congress will form governments in Maharashtra and Arunachal, but no clear verdict in Haryana. The Maharastra Congress, along with its ally NCP, was poised to retain power in the 288-member Maharashtra assembly. Of the 269 results declared so far, the ruling combine has bagged 131, the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance 87, MNS 13, Republican Left Democratic Front 12 and others 26.

The Haryana Congress has fallen short of a majority in Haryana after results for all seats were declared.
The Congress emerged as the single largest party in the Haryana assembly elections but was not able to get a clear victory. The party won 40 of the 90-member assembly seats, the INLD won 31, the Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) won 6, the BJP 4 and Independents 7. The BSP won one seat in the state and Shiromani Akali Dal, an alliance partner of the INLD, won one.
For a simple majority in the assembly, the Congress needs 46 seats. It had won 67 seats in the February 2005 elections.

The ruling Congress party in Arunachal Pradesh will form the next government for the second straight term, having already won 38 of 60 assembly seats as counting of votes progressed Thursday.
