However, candidates of JJP, which contested all ten seats and INLD and BSP, which fought seven and nine seats, respectively, received a severe drubbing and their candidates were set to lose security deposits.
Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda claimed that the Congress' performance in the Lok Sabha polls in the state will have an impact on the Vidhan Sabha elections, which are due in October.
Hooda said that farmers' plight, Agnipath, unemployment, law and order, and inflation were key issues which the ruling BJP failed to address.
This time, the Congress had fielded candidates on nine seats while its INDIA bloc ally AAP is contesting the Kurukshetra seat.
Among the Lok Sabha seats, while Congress won Sirsa, Hisar, Sonipat, Ambala and Rohtak.
BJP score wins in Karnal, Bhiwani-Mahendragarh, Gurgaon, Kurukshetra and Faridabad.
However, BJP's vote share in Lok Sabha polls in Haryana was down from over 58 per cent in 2019 general elections to over 46 per cent now.
Congress, on the other hand, gained in vote share which rose from 28.42 per cent in 2019 to 43.68 per cent, as per the available data of the results and trends for the seats.
BJP has sitting MPs in Bhiwani-Mahendragarh, Gurgaon and Faridabad.
After initial hiccups in early counting rounds over Congress rival Raj Babbar, Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh managed to hold on to his Gurgaon seat, which he won fourth time in a row. Singh had also represented Mahendragarh twice, which later became Bhiwani-Mahendragarh constituency from 2009.
Rao Inderjit had a lead of over 73,000 votes.

Under Modi's leadership, the way Haryana has undertaken progress earlier, the state will continue to do so in future, Saini said.
On Congress wresting five seats from BJP, Bhupinder Hooda said that he had been saying "there is a wave blowing in favour of the Congress".
Haryana is known for "jai jawan, jai kisan, jai pehalwan", Hooda said.
"But what did they (BJP) do. They brought Agniveer (Agnipath scheme), which faced opposition from the youth. They did not redress farmers' issues. And everyone knows the treatment that was meted to our wrestler daughters, who had to protest (at Delhi's Jantar Mantar)," he said.
