Mallikarjun Kharge Rally: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s rallies scheduled to be held at two places in Haryana today have been cancelled. However, Kharge’s ill health is being cited as the reason behind the cancellation of these rallies. Congress sources say that doctors have advised Kharge to rest and hence he will not participate in the rallies in Haryana today.
Although the Congress is citing poor health as the reason behind the postponement of Kharge’s rallies, the postponement of these rallies is being linked to Kumari Selja’s displeasure. Experts say that despite the efforts of the top leadership, Selja’s displeasure has not been removed yet and hence Kharge’s Haryana tour has been cancelled.
Kharge’s two rallies cancelled in Haryana
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge was to address two rallies in Haryana’s Ambala city and Gharaunda in Karnal today. A lot of preparations were done by the Congress for these rallies and there was talk that angry Congress leader Kumari Selja could also participate in these rallies, but now Kharge’s Haryana tour has been cancelled.
A Congress leader said that due to poor health, Kharge is unable to visit Haryana and has been advised to take rest. Now, local leaders of Haryana Congress will address these rallies in place of Kharge.

Shailja’s anger has not gone away yet
Earlier it was being said that former state Congress president and Sirsa MP Kumari Shailja may address two rallies in Haryana today along with Kharge. Through this, the Congress was trying to give the message that there is no truth in the news of Shailja’s displeasure and she is fully committed to the Congress.
Kumari Selja met party president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday evening and apprised him of the reasons for her displeasure. Congress sources say that during this meeting, Kharge had asked Selja for a day or two to resolve his grievances. Political experts believe that Kharge will visit the state after resolving the problems that have arisen in the Haryana Congress.
Shailaja is completely cut off from election campaign
Haryana Congress’ Dalit leader Kumari Shailaja is said to be angry over the growing dominance of Bhupendra Singh Hooda’s faction in the state. Along with this, she is also angry over the denial of tickets to many of her supporters in the ticket distribution for the assembly elections. Former Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda and state Congress President Udaybhan have had a great say in the ticket distribution of Congress in Haryana, while Shailaja has been able to get tickets for only a few of her supporters.
He has not participated in the election campaign in Haryana after September 12, while voting for 90 assembly seats in Haryana is scheduled to be held on October 5. Therefore, the Congress leadership is trying to resolve the dispute of Haryana Congress as soon as possible.

Message to Hooda faction not to be ignored
Along with the efforts to persuade Kumari Shailja in Haryana, the Hooda faction has also been given a message not to ignore Shailja. In fact, the Congress leadership has become cautious after former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar offered Shailja to join the BJP. Although Shailja has made it clear that she is not going to leave the Congress, but the Congress leadership is being very cautious in this matter due to the fear of displeasure of Dalit voters.
Experts say that in the coming days, a rally of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi can be organized in Haryana and during this Kumari Selja can be seen on the stage. Meanwhile, state Congress in-charge Deepak Babaria has also talked to Hooda to remove Kumari Selja’s displeasure. Its result is expected to be seen soon.
