As the polling for 90 assembly constituencies in Haryana is ongoing, Congress MP Kumari Selja said on Saturday that the BJP is ready to welcome me because they are already very weak.
Calling Congress leader Kumari Selja a "good politician," Haryana BJP leader Bharat Bhushan Juyal accused the Congress and Bhupinder Hooda of sidelining the SC and OBC and said that the party only "tolerates" the interference by Hooda family and no one else.
Union Minister and BJP leader Giriraj Singh on Friday slammed Congress for not declaring Kumari Selja as the Chief Minister candidate of Haryana and claimed that the Congress party abused Kumari Selja over her caste.
The election is a high-stakes battle as the BJP is eyeing a third straight term to power in the state, the Congress party is aiming to wrest back power riding on anti-incumbency, and issues of farmer protests and wrestler protests.
Congress MP Kumari Selja denied rumours that she has been "upset" with Congress leaders over certain decisions taken by the party regarding the Haryana elections, saying, "In the Congress, ultimately our faith lies in the high command only."
Congress MP Kumari Selja on Friday denied the claims that former Haryana CM and Congress leader Bhupinder Hooda has become the single strongest person in the state, saying that the media does not see anyone bigger than the one who has been the Chief Minister for 10 years.
Congress MP Kumari Selja reiterated her commitment to the party, scotching speculation of her joining the Bharatiya Janata Party, and said, "Selja toh Congressi hai," adding that she is not upset with the party.
In an interview with the Lallantop, the Congress MP indirectly also indicated that along with former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, his son and party leader Deepender Hooda is also a potential candidate for the chief minister post.
